Abstract: A glide system for boat trailers provides ease of loading and launching in an economical manner. The glide system comprises a plurality of glides for supporting a boat hull. Each glide comprises a support member made of a relatively soft and low-friction material. Brackets for mounting the support member to a trailer cross member provide pivoting of the support member relative to the trailer cross member and adjustments in at least two planes to obtain optimum support for the boat. The support members have curved sections at least in their transverse planes for contacting the boat hull with maximum contact area. The support members may be fabricated as single piece components. Alternately, the support members may be composed of structural members covered with respective bearing members that are made of a low-friction and relatively soft material.
