Hi, I'm looking at buying a car trailer to transport my bilge keeled venturer, what load capacity would the trailer need to be?
The original builders certificate gives the gross tonnage at 5,875lbs which equates to 2.66 tonnes. Ive seen a trailer with each axle load capacity rated at 1.3 ton and the hitch being 1.3 tone rated, I take it this would not be strong enough or could i add a heavier duty hitch to overcome this?

The displacement for the venturer is said to be 1250KG what does the actually mean?
New to sailing so terminology i'm not to familiar with
Cheers K
