Sam the under the tramp system is where you have 2 grommets in the tramp roughly in the middle fore/aft and about 2 feet apart. the halyard runs from the main beam, through the grommet then continues to the rear beam where the turning blocks are mounted on the underside of the tramp. the halyard then turns head to the retrieval side grommet, back up on top of the tramp and them back down the retrieval grommet to the kite.

the upside is the skipper doesn't have the spin halyard at the back of the boat, the down side is if there is any tangle you can not get at it on the water easily.

those two grommets are in my tramp and there is no way I would use them!


Hey there Jeff, your not really stopping the twists with the exit block, more like letting the twist pass through. the only way to truly get rid of the twist is to pull the halyard out and milk the twists out of it before rigging the boat. In the cover its pretty easy to see the twists when you stretch the halyard out, but not so easy in the core!

nothing worse than a jammed spin halyard...
