Trailex Dollies for Pedal and Sail Boats

If you live near the water or need a means to move your pedal or sail boat to and from the water, one possibility is to use a dolly. The Trailex model is available from Boat Dolly Direct. Check out the pictures and information on their web site http://www.boatdollydirect.com/. It fits the Nauticraft Tribute sailboat and the new model from Nauticraft coming in January 2010. The Nauticraft Encore P model may fit but confirmation from Boat Dollys Direct will be required.

This dolly also has a hitch option available for towing the dolly with a vehicle short distances and at slow speeds. Check it out for more fun ways to get on the water.

Sail Kit for Nauticraft Escapade

Sailboats-To-Go has developed and sells a sail kit for the Nauticraft Escapade. Let the wind do the work and pedal only when you want to! This rig utilizes a Sunflower 55 SqFt nylon sail, folding spar set and take-apart mast. Everything comes apart or folds quickly into a compact 4-ft long bundle, so there's no storage problem, and set-up or take-down is quick and easy. The sail kit consists of the sail, folding spars (the 2 long poles that sail mounts on), take-apart mast, and mast socket. To install, you bolt the socket on the floor under the arch, and then you drill a hole in the top center of the arch for the mast to pass through (not shown in this photo).

Escapade Arch Option

This high arch model has a large windscreen which looks great and protects the pedaler from wind and waves. It is quickly removable if hot weather makes the wind desirable.
The no arch model has a low windscreen similar to the Encore model. There is no price difference in these two Escapade models.
