no bad publicity at all except for the driver of the vehival towing the vessel. He did not tie the boat down wich is clear in all piks and with a 6.7 mt boat anything kan happen if not prepd right . Although good publicity for coraline / boatcity as the coraline is stil structerly good even after being thrown onto a road at 90 kph.
A winch failing and then for what ever the reason "makes" the winch post snap then the boat drops off the trailer at 90km an hour onto the road isn't good publicity!
I was saying it as i saw in that picture. As for the Coraline boat, it held up well and i wasnt taking about the boat or the seller!

Boat Trailer
I think this is a reminder to all who tow a boat, don't rely on the winch post. Tie the boat down to the trailer.

Smooth
Would have rolled of that nice and smooth. Wouldn't have wanted to be sitting behind it when she went.
BIG tie down straps (8000kg) are the go. Good place to buy them is at Midalia steel when they have their big sales.

Ebay is good for tie down
Ebay is good for tie down winches too.
A mob sells straps that they get from sea containers, they have been used once inside the containers. Good buys
