Looks like the boat will too with a trailer being in the region of about 9m.....  

James, how much for your landy/range rover thingy??  

I think they are too small too

Laxer in Europe

True but I wont spend my entire career in Europe and as I am British forces I have to still stick to British vehicle regulations.  

Do you have a V or a circle on the front - that is the decider

To be honest if it isn't too much out of size I'd risk it - where are the traffic Police these days. I think if you were seen you would be OK

As I said, almost every glider trailer will be over length. I belong to a gliding club where there must be at least 200 such trailers based. Some are used regularly on the road and I've never known anyone to have anything more substantial than a normal car as a towing vehicle.

I am not aware of anyone who has been pulled up on this, and that includes a few who have had the misfortune to have accidents on the road, where if anyone were likely to uncover the issue an insurance company would.

Portmoak, the Scottish Gliding Centre, is right on the edge of my area and we regularly see glider trailers being hauled up and down the County.  The length of such things do not figure high on the agenda, to be honest.....
