Thanks, everyone, for the comments.

Phill, I'm very interested in learning more about your system since it is the spi hoists/drops that I am most concerned about. After you mentioned that, I vaguely remebered you describing it in an earlier post, so I went back and found it. You included a photo of the underside of your trampoline with that post.

Very ingenious! I can see why you design boats for a living...

I can't tell from the picture exactly how it's implemented, though. I'm not sure, but it almost looks like you attached two blocks to the underside of your tramp to pull a loop of the spi halyard through and also used a third block attached to a tiller cross bar bungee to "capture" this loop. Did I get that right?

If so, how did you attach the blocks to the underside of the tramp?

Also, did you just attatch other end of the bungee to the center of the tiller cross bar or did you create a "Y" to go to both ends of the tiller cross bar?

If I've got this all wrong, than a diagram would really help.

BTW, on your photo, what's that other yellow line running uncer the tramp from front to back?

Thanks!

Jerry
