I reread your message and you mentioned you are 80. You’re still young since I will be 84 next month. Own what I consider the best M17 out there. Sold it last year; first $17,000 and second $18,000 but backed out of both deals. Problem is I have to many interests as I also own a Drascombe Lugger that I’ve traveled with in Europe, Northwest and East Coast. I won’t go into my other interest. Getting a new hip in a week after being told I needed one 8 years ago. Haven’t had time to mess with it. I live in upper NY and doctor tells me I will able to do anything end of May. Summer starts here in June so I will have 4 months of sailing. My advise Jim is forget about the 80 since I am a believer you are as old as you think you are. I go to two different gyms at least 4 times a week. I get motivated talking sailing and the gym is the same for me. Listen to your elder. Lie about your age as I tell everyone I’m 55.

Hi Jim,
Your question depends highly on the design of your trailer, and each trailer is very different. For a lot of the lighter weight, or more modular trailers, breaking it down and storing it is viable, and the weight could be as low as a few hundred pounds.
Sincerely, Tyler

Ok skippers...., here we go!
The SV Pelican is moored in a slip but I need to keep the trailer at my house. I live in HOA community so parking in out front is out of the cards and I to cheap to pay go storage yard.
While At Home Depot I thought if I could rotate the trailer 90 deg About the long axis and remove the wheels I could store it in my 6 ft side yard on a Home Depot lumber cart ( or similar to) in my side yard. 6ft
I am pushing 80 yrs and sanity may be the second thing to go
Any of you skippers this nuts?
How much does much does m15 trailer weigh ?
If u want to cast me adrift from this form I understand .
