I was told of the first trip of a C25 by a former C22 sailer from Sacramento. The family traveled to our local lake and everything went great until arriving. Crossing over a speed bump to enter the area, a spring shackle broke on one of the axles causing it to turn and jamb. Secured with cable come-a-longs the boat was moved to the ramp where during the launch the new outboard wouldn't start and the tow vehicle ran out of gas on the ramp. The outboard was fine just operator error and the tow didn't cost much so the weekend was saved for sailing. Watch out for those new sharp rubber speed bumps, it could ruin your whole day.

If you want to be a trailer sailer, you have to be prepared to be a trucker too.
