To make sure a trailer is secure whilst carrying your dinghy, we ask you to ensure that a wheel clamp or hitch lock is fitted to the trailer whilst it is unattended. Not only does it help to deter theft of your dinghy and trailer, it also means your insurance will l be valid if the craft is stolen.
