You know if we fly it high enough I might be able to slide down the main to the tramp. Of course there is that loose footed boom at the bottom.............I don't think I'll go through that as easy as the furler line

Tiff and I double-trapped at Wayward Winds this year on my P19. Of course, since it never got over 4 knots all weekend, I was off the low side and she the high...I've done this several times since in light air.
Also, when the I-20's came out, several people experimented with trapping off the rear beam in heavy air/flat water downwind.
I've decided there are a lot more options of places to trap from (INTENTIONALLY) that I haven't explored yet. Thanks for a really fun thread!

Hey,

Try this when you are bored and there is no wind.

Unhook the bungies on the traps and trap out opposite sides. Both move to the back of the boat and at the same time run forward and try to swing around the bow with both people passing in front of the jib at the same time.

We managed to pull it off a couple of times, but the awkward fall back into the front cross bar when you did not make it sometimes can be painfull.

If we are looking for strange places to trapese here is a manouver I pulled off accidently.

A few years back after a near pitch poll I (crew) swung around the front of the mast and ended up upside down still hooked in with my head and shoulders under the water, feet in the air and stomach being pressed hard agianst the front beam as the boat was still moving quite fast.

I was unbale to pull myself up because of the force of the water all I could see and hear was white water.

My helm says he slowed the boat down straight away but it felt like an age and I still claim he was waiting until he got to the next mark.


I think we may have invented a new sport freestyle catamaran sailing!!
