A trailer arrangement is disclosed providing support for a pair of sail boat hulls which are positioned on the trailer in a partially inverted position tipped inwardly against an A-frame central storage enclosure, which enclosure has inclined sides to each of which are affixed a pair of hull rests adapted to receive the boat hulls. The boat hulls are retained in position therein by a series of clamp arms which are pivotally supported so as to swing into engagement with the hull bottom surfaces and having extensions pivotally connected thereto at the outer ends and which are interlocked with each other to secure the clamp arms in engagement with the boat hulls. The clamp arms and extensions also provide a rigging platform for the boats during unloading operations when supported on the ground surface, the extension arms acting to support the clamp arms horizontally when vertically positioned, and allowing the clamp arms to function as ramp skids when the extensions are pivoted out of engagement with the ground surface. A storage system is also included in the trailer arrangement consisting of the central storage structure and additionally an overhead boom and mast compartment extending along the upper surface of the storage compartment forwardly and parallel with the trailer draw bar member. Also disclosed is an arrangement for utilizing the trailer structure as a framework for a two compartment tent shelter erectable thereon in which the clamp arms supported by the extension arms provides support for an above ground tent floor while the boom and mast storage compartment provides a support for the tent peak.
