Hi Billy,
We don't currently offer trailers designed to haul a sailboat, the trailer's we offer are designed for kayaks, canoes, and rafts. We do however offer fold-away hinge kits for boat trailer tongues like the Fulton # FHDPW330300 that you could use to shorten the length of the trailer to help it fit in your garage. To find the right one for your trailer we'll need to know the frame sizing, trailer GVWR, and whether you'd like a bolt-on or weld-on application.
