Thread: Towing Big Boats

Sailfish Marine, the builder of this horsepowered catarmaran, is about 800 metres from my house.

I and my kids saw this rig (complete with trailer with four axles!) on the back of a float, towed by a serious prime mover.. passed thru Alstonville just a few days ago...

I wondered where it was going...

It was kinda big!

Oh, and just a note to Mark 'n' Deb:
Sailfish is for real

they build boats like this all the time from a small operation at Russellton, which is just across the road from Wollongbar and immediately west of Alstonville....

if your tojo disbelieving troggies have a prob, I'll be over the road in the next few days and well, if you'd like some more pics........

Given I know (vaguely) the boss (Darren), I'll mention this post to him, that'll be interesting!

Sailfish is all about large alloy, outboard powered cats (and no, I have no affiliation.....but a mate works there as an outboard mechanic)

Thanks for the offer there Quiggers but if they dont want to believe it thats there prob mate, they can stay in there "TOJO wonder world and dream away"

BTW, the guys at Sailfish use a F250 4wd loooonnnnggggggg wheelbase for towing their boats and even it looks small behind some of their creations.

My neighbour brought a F350 to tow his boat and it isn't as big as this one, mind you where he goes fishing, it's a 10 hour drive.
