How well does a C-270 trailer?

[capt_paul]

Hey friends!
I wanted to know how folks are trailering their Catlina 270's?
I read a forum back in 2018 and thought I'd ask again. Seems like stepping the mast is a much more of a process and unless you have the wing keel you may be using a hoist to come on and of the trailer.
If anyone out there has a C-270 on a trailer already, I'm in the market to buy one anywhere in the country and drive it to Monterey, Ca.
Thanks for your insight!

Welcoem to the forum!!

Buy one with a tandem trailer............lot easier, more stable and safer tow, espeacailly for long distances, and launching.

Can you provide a photo of the trailer and manufacturer? Use to be a Catalina dealer

I had a 270 fin keel I REALLY liked but never considered it trailerable, Meriachee is only one I'm aware of who has much experience with doing so. If you look at his webpage he built the trailer I think, I did see one advertised for sale with trailer at Lake Oroville decades ago.
