I assume you're talking about the rear trapezes which come through a fairlead an inch or so behind the sidestay? I do occasionally get them wrapped around the wrong side of the sidestay but I don't find it a big problem. I just take a little care when putting them on - it doesn't take a moment to sort out if you spot that it's happened - but I think that the cause is flicking the trapeze of the hook too quickly so that it flies off and does a circuit of the sidestay. Occassionally sailing with a crew teaches you to take it off carefully and place it next the sidestay <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

How much tension have you got on the trapezes?
