    When it rains...

    I was taking our 211 over to a local gel shop (Johnson Boat Works for those familiar with inland sailing) to get their opinion on the cracks. Just before I got there I heard a tire screeching sound a couple of times going over small bumps. Pulled in to the parking lot and checked things out. One wheel on the trailer (Prestige double axle) was jammed up against the fender. Looks like a broken suspension. This is getting to be a bit too many problems in 4 years. After a lifetime of skiing maybe it's time to hang it up.

      I am guessing a torsion bar sprung trailer, and a torsion bar mount slipped.

        Quite possible and probably the least expensive to fix if so?

          I had a prestige trailer and the torsion bar failed. Prestige took care of me on the parts, labor was mine to cover. I understand they are out of business? Good luck with your trailer! Maybe it will be an easy fix.
