A new Trailer Sailer library is coming to the John Crawford Marine website. As you may not be aware, JCM has been selling Trailer Sailers since the early 70’s. The company’s foundations and success has to be part credited to the initial 2 decades of sales with Trailer Sailers.

JCM was one of the founding businesses in selling Trailer Sailer’s with the early importation of many TS’s from New Zealand including the Farr, Sabre’s, Noelex and more. Over the past several months I have been gathering knowledge from John Crawford himself, John Russell (second owner of JCM) and Ron Edwards who still works at JCM after some 21 years.

We have been going through our store room and found up to 60 different trailer sailer models and their hand out sheets, information, price sheets and more. What I am trying to compile for a no charge, no commission and no kick back is a library on our webpage where people who have an interest in TS’s can browse the information we have online. I will also be trying to make the section active where others that may be in possession of other documentation and by gone stories can email it to us and we can post it online.

This has been a time consuming and slow process however I am sure the members of TSCQ and others in the country will find a lot of past information interesting. In the meantime if you are able to help JCM with information or photos it will be greatly appreciated and mutually beneficial in building what I believe a first TS library.
