Talking To sail a trailer;
Lets see..
I think the mast should be be slightly ahead (rear) of the rear wheels. Replace the jack with a large caster type wheel as the rudder it would have a handle/ tiller.

The boom should be at least over the tiller. a 30ft or so mast height.. maybe a working jib. (don't want to over power the trailer sailer)

The cockpit should have at least room for one helms person.

Since we have to forgo ballast. we will need spring boards or outriggers should the wind pipe up..

Now.. where to sail our trailer sailer?

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

A mite sensitive perhaps. YOu must admit, she has the aspect and ratios pretty close to that thing you cling onto in screaming winds.

I actually had a great day on the water yesterday. wooo hooo!

I shot that idea off after thinking about how the words "trailer sailor" are just ripe for word play

Hey! they sail on ice boats! same thing! not. lol
