    Thanks for the tip re Welsh Harp Boat Centre Chris – I can’t believe I hadn’t found them previously. If I hadn’t ordered from Trident already I would have gone to them, if only to support a local firm. Mike seemed positive about Trident though, so I will stick with it rather than cancel. I imagine I will wind up spending a fair bit of cash at WHBC before too long in any event!

    Thinking about it the front support on my existing trailer does look as if it might swivel (or might once have, it’s rather rusty now), so perhaps that is the method envisaged. It does indeed sound brutal though. I’ve ordered a trolley from Trident and it arrives next week (free delivery was the clincher) so I’ve some time to work out what to do – I might bite the bullet and roll the trailer deep enough into the water to float the boat off. I don’t need to use it for a while so can take the time to clean out the bearings. They could probably do with a service in any case. Thanks all for your responses and advice.

    Thanks for getting back to me Oliver and Norman. It’s very quiet at the reservoir right now, so there’s no-one to ask. I think I will get the Trident trolley, and can add the road base to it later. They do a nose wheel which will help a bit with Norman’s point about the trolley being nose heavy.  I would like to be independent in moving the boat and have no idea how I would go about transferring it on and off the trolley unless my crew has a supernaturally large growth spurt. I can also park the trailer in my berth with the trolley on top of it and thereby avoid separate trailer parking fees.
