Catalina 30 Cradle

[ottaman]

Started looking for a trailer for my Catalina 30 (1980) and found couple manufacturers that can build custom trailers. They are asking for specs and I found one page in the manual that has the cradle drawing, but it seems to have mistake. The stands are mixed, aren't they? Shouldn't the "bow" and "stern" (including dimensions) be switched? This is from page 58 of the C30 manual...

Check with http://cradleridetrailers.com/

They made hundreds for C30. They might ship to you.

Thank you! That was my other question - if anyone can recommend any manufacturer/shop that sells trailers. Or can I rent one anywhere?

Four sets of adjustable cradles plus a bow cradle. Plus cradles just outside of keel. Widest ones are second from back.

A friend bought one up there in CT. Must have been close to the Defender store, as I made it a requirement we go there when picking up the trailer from MD.

Was it custom built for Catalina? If so, do you remember who manufactured it?

It was custom built about 20 years ago. Says. Built by Buck, Rockwall, TX

I assume that is an individual, maybe not a company. If you can't run down on Google, you might call Rush Creek Yacht Club or Chandler's Landing YC both in Rockwall. They might be able to give you a lead to follow to locate the builder/dealer.

I have a 1992, the cradle is narrower at the bow by 3" according to the drawing in the manual
