Regal 1800 wont launch from roller trailer. Advice?

[sjcresswell]

I have recently purchased a Regal 1800 sports boat and roller trailer [SBS 1600]. Unfortunately due to the 'Fastrac' design of the hull I am having great difficulty launching the boat off the trailer as the 'lip' on the hull will not ride over the rollers. The boat is used almost wholly in the Solent area and as the water is tidal I am forced to wait until the water is between 4 -6 inches above the mudguard before I am able to launch it. The trailer will then react like a bunk trailer and the boat will float off. This is severely restricting the amount of time I can use the boat between tides and totally defeats the object of having a roller trailer. I have launched several different types of sports boats from roller trailers in the past but have never before encountered this type of problem. I would be interested to know if there are any other Regal sports boat owners who are experiencing similar types of problems and if anyone has found a practical solution to overcome this 'Fastrac' problem.

Let's give this a title that asks the question and move it to Trailers.<br /><br />Maybe someone will respond there.<br /><br />Good luck.
