ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Trailer sailer

Okay, so imagine a really cool toy boat that you can play with in the bathtub or a pool. Now, think of a bigger version of that toy boat that can also go in the ocean! That's called a trailer sailer.

It's called a trailer sailer because it's a boat that can be taken off its trailer and put into the water, and then when you're done playing on the water, it can be taken out of the water and put back on the trailer to be taken home.

Some trailer sailers are small enough to be pulled by a car or a truck, while others are bigger and need a special vehicle to tow them around.

But the really cool thing about a trailer sailer is that it has a special feature called a retractable keel. A keel is like a fin that helps the boat stay upright in the water, but it can make it harder to take the boat out of the water and move it around on the trailer. So, on a trailer sailer, the keel can be pulled up when you're ready to move the boat, and then lowered back down when you put the boat back in the water.

This makes a trailer sailer a really versatile and fun way to play on the water, because it can go to different places and be taken out of the water easily, but it's still big enough to have lots of space for you and your friends to play and have fun.
