In Response To: PLEASE help me (Benita Kingsbury)

I don't have any experience with trailers, but I have some ideas on what I would like in a kayak trailer. It should have storage bins for gear and paddles, have protection against stuff being kicked up off the road to keep the boats from getting beat up. It should be light enough to push around by hand.

: I am meant to be designing a kayak trailer as part of my A-Level design
: project, but am not quite sure if thats the best idea now. I also thought
: of a storage trailer or a cart of some kind. I am finding it very
: difficult getting any helpful research on products already being produced.
: If anyone can help, with faults of present designs, things that could be
: overcome etc. please let me know asap and i will be very grateful. Being
: in the upper sixth i don't have much time and really need to get on with
: this. Also if anyone has attempted to make any of these things, that
: really would be great to hear about what you have done. I have about a wk
: and a half to get the research done, and so really don't have long now. I
: hope to hear from you. Benita Kingsbury.
