Need some thoughts on securing sheets, shrouds and lines for trailering

We also go blindly believing waterpirate. Has anyone checked the accuracy of his no-more-than-3-feet statement? I have not.

Nope. I'm sure you could, if you really tried, find some statute someplace that would cite you for getting out of bed in the morning.

Found this regarding "extremities" in the California Vehicle Code. It sounds forgiving enough, as long as you stick a flag on it.

TO THE REAR:
Per CVC Section 35410, the load upon a vehicle, trailer or semitrailer shall not extend to the rear beyond the last point of support for a greater distance than that equal to two-thirds of the length of the wheelbase. The wheelbase of a semitrailer shall be considered as the distance between the rearmost axle of the towing vehicle and the rearmost axle of the semitrailer.

MAXIMUM LENGTH FOR VEHICLE AND LOAD:
Per CVC Section 35411, the load upon any combination of vehicles shall not exceed 75 feet measured from the front extremity of the front vehicle or load to the rear extremity of the last vehicle or load. The load upon a STAA vehicle, when the overall length of the combination of vehicles exceeds 75 feet, shall be confined within the exterior dimensions of the vehicles. For the definition of a STAA vehicle, see the green truck dimensions at: Truck Map Legend (PDF) .

Just your regulation F350 SWD long wheelbase diesel. Out of almost all the trucks I've had, this one, hands down, rides, pulls, and even gets better mileage.

Sorry, but you've got the best looking boat and rig I've ever seen. And it's not just the six rims! Must be the way it sits up so high. Looks huge. Is that an extra water tank on the bottom? Ha! - a bit of water-ballast humor. Nice. The H23.5 looks like a pregnant pigeon on her trailer, but she's a beauty in the water.

Thanks. The boat sits 18" lower on the trailer than it did when it arrived on the property. It was possibly the most invasive project ever undertaken.

You need fire ants. They're the most invasive project I've ever taken on. Be on the lookout for them in your mailbox soon!

 

[Meriachee]

Nah, we had wasps in the shed after a small environmental issue on the drive. That's more than enough invasion for one year.
