Sucks, I bet next time he'll put some transom straps on his boat to help avoid that issue.

That doesn't even look like a roller trailer, bunks!

yeah, those must have been some slick bunks. And you can see he didn't slide far. here is a pic from the stop sign where he would have stopped, then made the turn. The boat ramp lot is up ahead of his truck 20 yards on the right.
its not like you can really whip around the corner there. i mean you at least sort of have to come to a stop. and i doubt he has a serious hole shot with that thing in tow. crazy!

Galilee ramp at Great Island bridge. RI. Yesterday around noon.
Bow strap wouldn't have helped. Transom straps probably would have.
I really don't think speed or taking the corner was the issue. I think equipment failure + improperly securing the boat were at fault... but who knows.

bow strap goes to the trailer frame, not the winch post, so it would have helped. |

It does not look like he had the proper trailer. It's hard to tell because the guy is in the way, but the trailer does not look like it has the center part that a catamaran trailer should have. The center part helps guide the boat onto the trailer and keeps it from sliding sideways. Without this, the boat is just essentially sitting on the bunks, kind of like how it is sitting on the pavement. It would not take much for it to slide off.

Trailer definitely looks odd. Like a converted pontoon boat trailer or something. What's that saying? You can't fix stupid.
