Transporting boats by train

[duncan]

I am looking for any historical information regarding transporting boats to meetings in the pre or post war years.  I thought I remembered an article, but can't find it.
The reason for this question comes as an aside to another one from another forum, rail transport, where there was a query regarding "boat waggons."  This has been discussed & probably does not relate to heavy wooden boat carriage, rather steel plate carriage. 
I would presume that a 12 plus mast would be carried in the guards' van or special van with end doors due to their light weight & susceptability to damage, or would they be car towed in 1930s to 1950s ?  If anyone can give any information or photos & do not mind it appearing in another forum, I would be greatful.
 
Many thanks  Duncan

There is a very brief mention of boats being delivered to Felixstowe by rail for the 1946 Burton week in the history section of the handbook, but it gives no details.

I was at Reading University 1962-6.  The university sailing club used to have a "marine meet" camping at Salcombe for a week during the long vacation.  I never went to this so cannot give details but I know a large rail wagon was pre-booked.  The Firefly dinghies were taken to the goods yard or siding on their launching trolleys, a long walk!  I think the truck took 4 or possibly 6 dinghies.  Perhaps some other ex-RUSC member can give more detail.
