When I got my Flying Junior, I had a Honda Civic Hatchback as a tow car. A local trailer hitch shop installed the hitch and it proved to be very sturdy. For nearly two years I drove the boat behind the Civic to regattas all over California, made a trip to the National Championships in Aspen Colorado and took it on a trip to New York and back. The trailer was a homemade affair that came with the boat and it blew up about 50 miles from home coming back from Colorado. I rented a tandem wheel car transporter to drag the crippled boat and trailer back home. I made the mistake of loading the transporter with too much rear weight. The trailer started going faster than the car and picked up the rear end of the civic doing about 80 mph. After about three lurid lane sweeping oscillations, I threw the car into a spin to stop the whole rig. The whole rig did a 180 turn in the middle of US 80 near Berkeley. It didn't even tweek the hitch a bit, but it was a definite E ticket ride.
