Little Bulldog Mounting Options

Hi everyone

I have a GU Patrol, offroad CT and 12ft Stessl Alum dinghy.

Very happy with rig - just the carrying around of a Little Bulldog Collapsible Trailer that is causing me some grief. I would like to use it as the concept of a separate trailer works for me (set up for a few days, leave boat ready to use etc) - rather than dinghy on roof. I like the lower centre of gravity also and fuel efficiency.

As post 25768 suggests, Little Bulldog is not light and I have been trying to work out a concept of how to carry.

Ideas to date:

Kaymar rear carrier - with LHS arm adapted to carry Little Bulldog. When around town and not using - we will remove arm. Negatives - cost (was told base price of $3700 fitted plus fabrication to adapt for Little Bulldog) plus arms seem hard to open (ie my wife will be unable to open the back when travelling around). Don't really need Kaymar carrier otherwise.

Little Bulldog on roof rack. Perfect location as out of way when not in use. Issue is how to get it up there. Weighs approx 67kg complete so too heavy to lift up above head. Ramp - possibly as can wheel it around when folded - but perhaps too steep to get on roof. Even thought of making a removable cargo arm - like you see lifting dinghies onto larger boats. Would swing out, block and tackle to lift wing over rack and ti down. Job done - but perhaps this is a bit experimental?? Someone please blow a big hole in the side of this idea because it is occupying my mind now.......

Am I missing another alternative.?

Want something simple and easy to do on a regular basis - otherwise novelty of fishing from dinghy when travelling around is going to wear off (6 mths on road next year).

Any feedback appreciated. Great site - thanks to plenty willing to share experience. Hope one day I am able to reciprocate.
