Stops included Beaver Island, Mackinaw City, Hessel, Harbor Island, and Drummond Island. It took five days of sailing to reach Detour and only five hours to trailer the Flicka back home.

One of the advantages of Flicka ownership is that the sailboat is small enough to trailer. This allows you to consider sailing in various cruising grounds from coast to coast or from season to season.
A trailer also allows you to store your Flicka at or close to home, making off-season maintenance easier to accomplish.
Several companies that have built Flicka Trailers are listed below.
