Your ideas sound interesting as I've been toying with adding a chute to my P19. What is "Cuben Fiber"? I've never heard of that. I'm interested to see photos of how you've cleaned up your tramp. The mess with the 4-way jib system is annoying on a P19. We frequently find ourselves trying to pull on a line only to realize we're sitting on it or it's tangled with something else. Any ideas what your new rating will be? Greg
