I know I know I know you are thinking TOW BAR?!?!?!

Well no, I am not one of those caravan towing, jack kniving, Q forming types but yes, I am a sailor!

I have just ordered a catamaran (only 16 ft) which can be trailored. It's a sexy bit of kit and hangin off a CC... ...well, da business me thinks!

Anyhoo, I need a hook. But... ...preferably one that can be hidden when not towing (cause I don't wanna be lookin like a caravaner without the cat on the back).

So, my Q is... ...anyone have any ideas if this is available for the CC and if so, how much?

Advice, hints, tips and maybe humorous abuse appreciated.

I think Peugeot has an original hook, and I belive it can be hidden when not in use. you can find a picture here: http://www.peugeot.no/internett/peugeot ... enFrameSet

surely you would be better just buying another car to tow the boat.

there are loads of bangers in the local papers for a couple of hundred quid. About the same price as a tow bar.

Valid point Roberto valid point. But... ...I know of no other car that's as reliable, sexy and fast :grin: as me ickle darlin' CC (especially for a couple hundred squid).

Anyhoo, surely with the roof down reversing with trailor has to be as easy as breakin da speed limit in a CC!?! :grin:

I think someone mentioned once mentioned on this forum that fitting the standard Peugeot detachable hook involved cutting away a slot below the rear bumper. It might be worth checking it out before the work is done.
