New I-20 owner with 2001 model. Tramp bolt rope slot in hull has loosened/fatigued to a point where the bolt rope pulls out. Any repair advice?
My thoughts are to fill slot with epoxy/fiberglass mix and then router out with factory sized routers in a secure jig.
Standard problem. Send the trampoline back to Elliot Patterson Sailmakers (E/P) and they will modify it to the side lacing style. They cut the side bolt ropes off the trampoline and sew in reinforcement and a series of small nylon loops. They also supply a super large bolt rope to slide into the hull with matching nylon webbing loops. The upgrade will come with enough 1/8" Amsteel to relace the trampoline. Cost is probably around $100 to $150 for the modification.
