Taken on the Isle of Man couple of years ago, fishing dingy PL5 is berthed on its trailer on the beach.
This is an interesting little prototype. The trailer is obviously pushed into the water, the boat sailed to hit the handrail, and then hauled out. That rail provides something for the skipper to aim and, and hang on to ensuring the boat is centred over the trailer bed.
Scratchbuilding the trailer with some strip plastic shouldn't be too hard and it would make a nice piece of detail for a seaside scene. In larger scales, brass section and solder would probably be better. You could use it as a display base for a suitable radio controlled model.
How you make convincing, see-through lobster pots, I leave to someone else to work out...
