The doors are still in the workshop, where they have been painted, and the framework for the Wiley windows is being finished. I only recently heard about the Wiley window design where it is featured in The Nature of Boats by Dave Gerr. It can be kept open in driving rain that would keep other designs closed. Some other teardrop builders have expressed great satisfaction with this simple but ingenious design.
Nice trailer, Gary. And I love the window design. I´m using it on my boat.
ReplyDeleteWow - gotta love the paint scheme, Gary!

Gary - I was expecting you to christen her "Rose", but now it has to be either Bumblebee or Yellowjacket!
ReplyDeleteGary - I see the hatch props, which will keep the hatch in the open position. What do you have to prevent a wind gust from raising the hatch even farther?
ReplyDeleteMy concern is that the hatch be kept open but at a fixed position, such that wind can make no difference.
The hatch props are made from an old adjustable windsurfing boom. Spring loaded buttons hold the position so that it can't move up or down. Press the buttons in and it's released for lowering. It's all marine grade aluminum and stainless.
DeleteIt’s such a beautiful trailer indeed! It was packed with simple facilities that you might need when you go boating. And the coating is very lovely!
ReplyDelete@Emmitt: I’ll go for Bumblebee! Haha!
