Hi all, I've just completely stripped and re-furbished my 720 trailer, including an epoxy/LP paint job. Putting it back together, I can't remember if the axles...
Hi Steve, Just checked mine the axle sits on top of the leaves. As I recall it was better this way to the boat closer to the water for launching. I remember...
Thanks for the info and tip Jason. I'll try using the anti-freeze. Hopefully, I'll have a trouble free tow up to the Whitsundays for 3 weeks of cruising in the...
Hello, there is no wrong or right way, some trailers have it one way and others the other. On my trailer it was manufactured with the axle on top. I am not...
Hello Steve, I just checked a trailer store on line and it looks to me like the springs have a locating pin on the top or bottom and a hole in the axle. The...
Thanks for all the advice on the trailer. I'm pretty sure now that it can go either way, the adapter plate can sit on the locating pin, or the bolt plate. The...
Just got the 680/720 plan CD today. This CD is worth the $40 even if a person is not restoring a trailertri. Lots of interesting info and ideas. Very...
Hi Bob Great to hear you are having fun with the other side of owning a boat... tinkering. My wife also reckons I want to change too much and should get a ...
Hi everyone, I am new to the group but once I get my TT720 I hope to contribute,I have found what looks like a nice boat for sale but it is a long way from...
Welcome to the group Rob. Not to sound to alarmist...but: While I think the TT's are very capable boats and can handle fairly rough weather I personally...
The boat can do it but only with tested experience with the boat. I mean you would want to get to know the boat really well. What is it like to sail it all day...
Hi Mark. Thanks for your advice,next week I fly up to the U.S.A to look at the boat and all being well buy it,Are there any weak points in the TT720 that I...
Hi Mark. i would do at least one shakedown cruise to familiarise myself with the boat and equipment before the long haul.I have a paraanchor and have used it...
Hi Russell On the anchoring bridle, I recall reading about this on the F boat group. I recall the bridle being run back via the float fronts to the winches....
Sounds like you will be able to tell for yourself from a decent shakedown cruise. The boat has less comparable float volume than the newer f24 etc but that can...
Hi again Well you have much more experience than me so I'm sure as the other Mark has said you will be able to tell for yourself the suitability of the TT for...
Hi John I've updated your entry.. probably not a bad idea to put in sail numbers in the absence of hull numbers. As far as bridles go I thing I will use my...
Was planning on putting shroud levers on the outer and rear shrouds. Wondering if anyone knows the weight size I should be using? West has 500lb or 1500lb. ...

Hi Mark Being new to this sailing I can honestly say I've never used a spinnaker and don't have a clue how to rig or use one! You've probably guessed by now I...
Hi everyone. Thought I'd start a thread on these sails that have a love/hate even down right fear relationship with most of us. I'll start by stating I'm no...
Part 2 Symetric kites: ~110 to 180 apparent Rigging: Ive had even less experience with this one but here goes anyway. This time we have two clews and no tack...
Hi mark . to use a spinnaker you need a spinnaker pole , no matter how wide the boat is, spinnys can then be flown 90 - dead downwind, to jibe the pole must be...
Howdy all, Since he has been discussing my sweet Batamaran that is for sale, I thought I'd leave the boat condition comments to you guys, so as not to...
... start ... to ... Been tying to talk wife into liveaboard in Florida this winter. Anyone got a good way to get wifes to liveaboard? Just been enjoying the...
... You know you are really going to miss "Batamaran". The 27 is a completely different boat. No beautiful wood, just another glass boat. I love the old stuff...
This should be an intersting thread! I think the trick with staying on a small boat and making it enjoyable is similar to camping: Good food, warm dry shelter...
