[Brian D]

WTF poor bloke but how does that happen?

[Cowfish13]

Ouch!!!

Looks like he forgot to put on the restraint strap on the stern and it bumped off

[Terry H]

Looks like he's knocked a few of those poles over!

[Malcolm]

Lucky that car in the for ground didn't leave a bit sooner

[chubbstar]

Wonder if he clipped a round-about up the road before it happend. Was speaking to a guy at the Wello ramp that had done that and caused damage to his boat.

it was on the pacific hwy just south of ballina in a 100 zone..looks like the trailer clipped those stupid barriers and just mowed em down, and threw the boat off..the car was in the barrier also...they work good those million dollar barriers...not...

Ouch that reminds me of the olde days when safety chains and stern straps where not heard of and the hook on your winch held your boat on

Well it was spose to

The hook on mine straightened and my 17.5 foot half cab decided to launch it's self onto the road halfway up a steepish hill in Narooma :pinch:

After much embarrassment :blush: we hired a mobile crane to get her back on the trailer and get the gelcoat repaired

Casualties

Wallet

Pride

and Ego

all else was ok
