OK Details,

This is a Datsun pickup from the mid 70s that has been
converted into a trailer. It has 14" tires and wheels including
a spare. It is a 6' 6" long bed

There is a watertight, mostly thief proof shell. On the shell
is a Thule rack with a gorge rack on one side, thus the
four board capacity. Another gorge rack, another two
boards. I normally carried bicycles on the non-gorge
rack side.

This inside has a wheel well high platform that is just high
enough to clear sails, I was carrying 5, but you could probably
stuff in one more.

One either side of the sail area (still the bottom) are compartments
where I carried mast feet and fins.

Above this area is storage for wet suits and stuff.

I normally carried booms on top of the gorge rack.

The bed is faded blue with some rust and the shell is aluminum.

This is not a thing of beauty. If it were, I would be asking a lot
more money.

I am selling it because I made myself a larger trailer that works
better for me.

When I bought this trailer, I thought of it as an experiment to see
whether of not a trailer was a sensible way to cope with all of
the equipment that we carry. I consider it to have been a
success. It may or may not work for you.

You won't be doing lane splitting towing it behind a motorcycle. It
would be really scary if you did.
