For those of us with a short sailing season, some of us are lucky enough to take our boats home and that presents another problem, what to do with our masts. Some clubs (ours as well), have masts storage trees, but some op to take the masts home. I made this mast trailer from the metal of the boat cradle that came with my boat. It's 35' long, the mast hangs over the truck roof. My wife and I usually lift the mast off (with the help of our skid steer) and the floating pads have been a pain to line up when setting back on. So I came up with a plan, and installed 4 shock absorbers, no problem now as the pads will self-align!
