Looking for your thoughts here. My brother in law called me today and asked if i would let my nephew borrow my truck to haul a sailboat from Houston to New Orleans over spring break.
My nephew is 22 y/o about to graduate college. He is a competitive sailor at a very high level and is in fact a licensed captain up to 100 tons (about an 80 foot boat).
The trailer is about 2,800 lbs. He has pulled boats across the country. My brother in law’s tow vehicle is currently out of state to move my nephew home from college in about a month and a half. He wants to take the sailboat to New Orleans over spring break to go sailing with friends (not sure if it’s a regatta or just sailing).
I’m having mixed feelings about this. Seems like letting a 22 y/o use my truck to pull a boat to and from New Orleans during spring break carries a higher level of risk than I’m comfortable with.
WIBTA if I don’t let him borrow it? Am I just worrying too much about nothing?
