      Hi all,

      I’ve just bought a GP14, no 12345 “Fish Alive” (the ads still up) and have overcome the first hurdle of trailering it to its new home at Welsh Harp. The next is getting it into the water, given that it came on a fairly heavyweight trailer and without a trolley. We tried yesterday; although we could have got it into the water off the trailer, it would have been with a splash (unless we submerged the trailer) and it would have been beyond me and my lightweight crew to get it back on again. The reservoir was deserted and help would have been difficult at 2m distance in any case so I decided not to risk it and gave up for the evening.

      There don’t seem to be any trolleys for sale at the moment and in any event picking one up will be tricky in the car. Trident Towing will send me a new one for a small pile of gold which needs assembly and can therefore probably go on the roof rack. Is it a common experience with GP14s that the initial cost of the boat is almost incidental? Does anyone have any experience with Trident’s trolleys they’d like to share?

      Best

      Peter
