Trailer Sailers are boats small and light enough to be towed by ordinary cars. Their width (beam) is constrained by road regulations.

An important factor in towing safety is 'tongue weight', the weight with which the trailer presses down on the tow vehicle's hitch. Insufficient tongue weight can cause the trailer to sway back and forth when towed. Too much tongue weight can cause problems with the tow vehicle. [1]
