Well, the title says it all really. Recovering my BR20 a couple of days ago, the trailer winch post failed. I didn't feel I was putting a huge amount of tension through the winch: Ella seemed to be coming up onto the rollers relatively easily. So I guess the fracture may have occurred earlier.
We were on a reservoir in benign conditions so got off lightly. Better there than on the sea or road.
This problem has been aired on an earlier thread. Is this the fourth time a CLH trailer has failed at this point? Mine is 2010/2011 vintage.
