O'Trolley is born !
Updated: Apr 28, 2022
O'Trolley - What is it ?
Our vision
O'Trolley is a collborative project by moth sailors who think thatit's not normal to damage their back or their boat during launching or recovery.
Putting a Moth, Waszp or One Fly in the water is stressful and inevitably results in damage to Tramps, Wings Bars, hull, Wand & bowspirit or even the top of the sail.
That's why we created O'trolley !
A simple, robust and quick-to-use solution.
A trolley that can be used in all conditions.
A unique trolley for all boats.
