I took some photos that you can look at here: http://www.defiantracing.com/album/thumbnails.php?album=3

I think it really depends how far down the keel box is on the trailer. Circus has their mast under the bow pulpet.

How that this helps you out.

Those are great pictures on the site. It raises a few questions.

1) I've read that FastTrackUSA does not recommend using a Van to tow a boat like a J/30 becasue of tacking problems at speed. That said, I've alsways thought a van would be ideal for starage of sails/equip. Is it a diesel van? What model, and transmission? How did it drive?

2) What is the interior line for in picture 90?

3) Any comments on a 3 axle trailer compared with a 2 axle? How did you like the "performance trailer" trailer.
