    Anyone have a 12 ft tinny in auckland?

    Due to my current living situation for the foreseeable future I am limited to something that can fit safely on roof racks due to no where to keep a trailer.

    My mate reckons a 12ft tinny would fit ok and I'm not so sure. It is longer as the yaris it's going on top of. Does anyone have one I could put on my roof racks to see how it drives?

    A 10ft would be fine and would be ok with 1 man.

    cheers

    I think you'd be better off with a modern inflatable like TrueKit.

    I drive a Toyota Ractis (similar to your Yaris). You may be interested in looking at something like this

    Wouldn’t it be easier to mount the Yaris in the12 footer and deploy it to land at your destination

    That would be an excellent life choice. Having discussed it with the man in question, I don't think that is an option for him, so he has to make the best of it.

    Not yet. A 10ft tinny is 200mm wider than my roof racks, we could make extensions to them so that is also an option. At the moment i'm just waiting for a good deal to pop up.

    I did see an dunbier aluminium folding trailer for sale on TM. It appears to meet most of the requirements for a wof' able trailer. It would be easy enough to weld a number plate bracket on and add some lights/reflectors.

    My father in law's.......... Yaris has a tow bar so stashing a 10-12 ft tinny and the trailer by the side of the house would be viable as I'd have something to tow with. Don't think my new boss would be keen on his ute towing a boat ha.

    Long term goal is to but we shall see. most of my family is in Aussie now so less reasons to stay.
