Posts: 1,203 uk | Ever capsized a 16 during a tack with the boat flipping backwards over its rudders? this happens when both crew are near the back of the boat and the breeze gets under the tramp! mesh tramps stop this by letting the air through. Mesh tramps have to be faster for the same reason.

My personal opinion about the Vinyl tramps was that they can get very slippery when water does get on them. In the rough conditions we often get overhere this is a serious drawback. So I preferred the mesh over the vinyl. (I used to instruct cat sailing for several years on Hobie 16's)

Posts: 17 Seattle, WA | I custom made a mesh tramp for my H16 and have noticed the abrasive characteristic. However, I now sail with my full-length cycling lycra so this is really not an issue. Actually, anything covering your knees will negate this problem. Or, if you don't care about your knees roughing-up then no problem.
Cheers, Eric

Posts: 224 Cincinnati, Ohio | What's the price diference like? I just bought a used boat and the tramp needs to be replaced. I don't really care what I put on it, just as long as it's functional. Does anyone have any experience with the ones that are on ebay advertised as "New Amish Made trampoline" http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Hobie-Cat...sspagenameZWDVW
