Transport

An often overlooked aspect of the sport is the transport of equipment to and from regattas. Far too often this is left in the hands of a junior first year parent or worse a first year university student. A rowing trailer can comprise up to 20 boats with a value in excess of R5 million and weigh more than a family sedan. Its length (over 18 metres), height ( almost the same as a container lorry) and centrally located axle predispose it to trailer sway especially in high winds or if incorrectly loaded. The dangers of jack-knife or separation are real and very dangerous.
