And the trailer is done!

Within a week of leaving Platero in the water I returned to with an almost new trailer. a good coat of galvanic paint , new wheels and bearings and new set of lights would allow me to take Platero home to start some of the work.
Platero was far from the crane so we had to tie a really long line on it to pull it to the right place. My mate Lotte was very helpful in pulling specially pass through the trees that were all along the shore.

Placing it between the belts that will lift Platero off the water..

The almost new trailer

This si a tricky part I found out it is easier to put it directly from the water to the trailer than usingthe lift.

It was a matter of a few tries until we got it centered

Almost there

Platero weighs 2500 lbs (1140 Kg) for a sailboat of this length it is quite  heavy

Finally it is ready to go home
