Summary<\/h2>\n
1 – Which trailer should I choose for transporting my boat?<\/a> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Paragraphe 1″ module_id=”titre1″ _builder_version=”4.21.2″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”50px||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Your choice of trailer will vary based on the boat\u2019s construction. There are two very important factors to bear in mind:<\/p>\n For a monohull, use a breakaway trailer with plenty of support rollers under the keel<\/strong> to securely hold the boat in place. Additionally, always remember to calculate your boat height so you can adjust your crank-handles accordingly.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For an inflatable, you need a trailer with curvier and therefore wider sides so you can get the tubes through safely<\/strong>. The trailer must be equipped with roller ramps on the sides as well as single centre rollers to support the bottom. Rigid and semi-rigid<\/a> boats must be mounted on multi-roller trailers so the hull strakes can fit through as well as single centre rollers to secure the bottom of the hull.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Please note that a braking system is compulsory for any trailer with a maximum permissible laden weight of 750 Kg<\/b>. If you occasionally need to transport your boat from one country\/region to another, or if you want to buy a boat that’s a long way from home, note that there are transport companies like A-1 Auto Transport<\/a> that can save you a lot of time and stress.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Paragraphe 1″ module_id=”titre2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”50px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Your choice of car will depend mainly on the maximum towable weight. 4\u00d74 or crossover cars are very helpful, but are they really necessary? GVWR \u2013 GVWR = maximum towable weight.<\/p>\n As far as speed limits are concerned, there aren\u2019t any changes for vehicles less than 7 metres long with trailers. Above a GVWR of 3.5 tons, the rules change (in France):<\/p>\n As for the licence plate, you keep the same registration number as your vehicle for under 500 Kg of GVW. If it\u2019s above 500 Kg, you need your own registration and vehicle registration for the trailer.<\/p>\n Transporting your boat on a trailer increases your usual fuel consumption by 50 to 100%.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Paragraphe 1″ module_id=”titre3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”50px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The weight of the trailer will determine the type of insurance required.<\/b> Below 500 kg, the trailer is included in the vehicle insurance. You may want to enquire if it\u2019s between 501 and 750 Kg. Above 750 Kg, insurance is compulsory.<\/p>\n It\u2019s great if you want to transport your boat by your own means, but think about asking a professional as this may make things much easier! <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fed up of not having a berth at the port?

\nIn addition, the weight on the tow ball must not exceed 50 Kg with a maximum permissible weight < 500Kg and 80 Kg over 500 Kg.

To find out, you need the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) as well as the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of your trailer.<\/p>\n\n

Quelle remorque choisir pour transporter son bateau?<\/h2>\r\n\r\nLe choix de la remorque est diff\u00e9rent selon la structure du bateau. Deux \u00e9l\u00e9ments sont tr\u00e8s importants : \r\n
\r\n\t
<\/center>\r\n\r\nPour un pneumatique, il faudra une remorque plus courb\u00e9e sur les c\u00f4t\u00e9s donc plus larges pour faire passer au mieux les flotteurs<\/strong>. La remorque doit \u00eatre \u00e9quip\u00e9e de rampe de rouleau sur les c\u00f4t\u00e9s ainsi que des rouleaux simples centraux pour soutenir le fond. Les rigides et semi-rigides<\/a>, eux doivent \u00eatre mont\u00e9es sur des remorques multi-rouleaux pour faire passer les virures de la car\u00e8ne ainsi que des rouleaux simples centraux pour tenir le fond de coque.\r\n\r\n<\/center>\r\n\r\nAttention le syst\u00e8me de freinage est obligatoire pour toute remorque avec le PTAC > 750 Kg.<\/b>\r\n\r\nDe plus, le poids sur la boule ne doit pas d\u00e9passer 50 Kg avec un PTAC < 500Kg et 80 Kg au-dessus de 500 Kg.\r\n\r\nNettoyez \u00e0 l\u2019eau claire votre remorque apr\u00e8s chaque utilisation.\r\n\r\nQuelle voiture privil\u00e9gier pour le transport de son bateau?<\/h2>\r\n\r\nLe choix de la voiture pour tracter le bateau d\u00e9pend essentiellement du poids maximum tractable. Les 4x4 ou bien crossover, les utilitaires sont tr\u00e8s utiles mais sont-ils r\u00e9ellement n\u00e9cessaires ?\r\n\r\nPour le savoir, il vous faut le PTRA (Poids Total Roulant Autoris\u00e9) ainsi que le PTAC (Poids Total Autoris\u00e9 en charge) de votre remorque.\r\n\r\nPTRA \u2013 PTAC = poids maximum tractable.\r\n\r\nEn ce qui concerne les limitations de vitesse, pour les v\u00e9hicules de moins de 7 m\u00e8tres avec remorque, il n\u2019y a pas de changements. Au-dessus d\u2019un PTAC de 3.5 tonnes, les r\u00e8gles se modifient (en France) :\r\n
