TRAILER TROUBLES

Scratched topsides get stopgap repairs while a Bluetooth-compatible stereo turns up the fun for Hugo Andreae

The eagle-eyed among you may have spotted that when my Karnic was being given the full Ceramic Pro treatment last season, one of its trailer’s wheels was looking a little wonky. I say ‘a little’ but in truth it looked like it had staggered out of an Edinburgh pub at 2am after a Scottish victory in the Calcutta Cup. It was touch and go whether I could tow it the 10 yards from its winter resting place to the slipway before the whole thing collapsed onto the concrete.
