Hahaaa, that'll teach me to check location before spouting ops
Still gotta say though, that's an impressive movement especially as you have little experience.
I take my hat off to ya :awesomework

 

Thanks I thought the covered trailer we used when we moved into our apartment was big, but this was something else entirely! Not made easier by the fact that we finished loading it up at 4.15pm, just in time for the afternoon rush hour through town. I think we ****** off a few commuters on the way through various round-a-bouts

 

In the UK the drawbar is not included in the length and also the load is allowed to project out over the back of the trailer by an amount of upto 2m

Hence in that trailer, everything in front of the Bow Support strut, is in effect a drawbar.

Furthermore for indivisible loads like boats the following applies

However, if the trailer is constructed and normally used for carrying an ‘indivisible load of exceptional length’ such as a boat, then
- the overall length of the towing vehicle must not exceed 9.2m, and;
- the overall length of the combination of vehicle and trailer must not exceed 25.9m including any projection of the load; if it does, then the police must be warned in advance and an assistant must be carried.


Hence the OP would be completely legal in the UK , once the Gross train weights were OK.

Originally I was going to buy a Navara, but couldnt tow a 3000Kg boat with it legally , thats why I got the RR, Since seen sense ( and sold teh boat)

I was stopped twice in France and weightbridged and measured.

 

I just towed this 850m down to the south of France. Nav was perfect.
