I really like the standard positioning. Having sailed a Tiger for a few years where the trapezes aren't lead to the edge of the deck, the traps on the Blade are really nicely out of the way. On the Tiger we found it impossible to move around the deck without getting tangled up in the wretched things.

Putting the rear trapeze any further back would be in the way for when I come out of a tack as I'll be sat up against the shroud. One thing I intend to try when I get a moment is using a longer piece of bungee and running it around the dolphin striker, in an attempt to reduce the forward pull when trapezing downwind.
