dingy transport
hughpinder - 15/9/10 at 09:08 AM

I am looking at buying a topper topaz dingy. Unfortunately its in Stirling and I'm in Lincolnshire, and I don't fancy a 10 hr round trip to pick it up. Anyone know a cheapish transport company that will pick up the dingy and trailer and drop it my end ( the dingy is 3.9mlong, but on trailer probably 5m, mast about 5m. Dingy hull is 80kg, mast/sails etc probably 40 ish, trailer I dont know.

Thanks for any ideas
Hugh

Sorry I'm not sure about the condition of the trailer - stupidly I didn't ask, so I'd better get back to the seller. I was assuming that it was ok as i was going to drive up there for it!
Pictures can be seen on www.toppersailboats.com - its 'topper topaz' - a 2 person dingy abot 3.8m long, but the mast is about 5m and I'm not sure on total length on the trailer.
