Nice dual axle trailer for sale. Custom built for C25 and in very good condition. This trailer is NOT launch-able. It is located in Falmouth, MA (Cape Cod). I am looking to sell since I do not have a proper tow vehicle and launch service is not available in the harbor where the boat is moored. I have pics but unsure of how to post here. I will email them if interested.

Shawn, Which keel configuration, and how many axles, brakes, etc. Folks will want to know. A price always helps too.

The trailer is built for a swing keel, has 2 axles, brakes and fits a 2 5/16" ball. I'm asking $1990.00

I'm not sure that I know all the criteria that make a trailer launchable, but I will say that this trailer does not have rollers and has only been used with slings to lift the boat and launch at boatyards.

Most trailer builders recommend not to use rollers for sailboat hulls, for what it is worth, my C22 trailers had float on bunks for launching it worked just fine.
A trailer extension is what makes a trailer launchable.
My two cents...

Virtually every J22 trailer I've seen has rollers. Most of them get only the aft set wet, then crank it up the rest of the way with the winch. Doubt that would work with a C-25, too heavy!

We have an extremely steep ramp at our marina which always leaves the C25 sitting a few inches back from the V blocks after retrieval. Roller trains allow us to winch it forward.

Samuel,
Good question! I will be back down to the Cape in a couple weeks and I will take a few measurements and get back to you.
