Guys,

On the ARC21 trampoline there are grommets that run parallel to the tramp track. Can I use these grommets to mount a block for spi sheeting or will I pull out the tramp track?

I wouldn't trust that track for that. The boat is narrow enough to put them at the shrouds.

Eric,
On Flight Risk I've got a vectran line run between the main beam and rear beam, with a loop tied in it where the turning block is located. It can be adjusted to move the sheeting point fore or aft.

And if you rig the line below the trampoline and pull the loop out via one of the existing grommet, you have the perfect setup: at the right place, and it cannot tear your trampoline.

Maybe the designer will post?

He used to post all the time, where did he go?

I agree with several options that have been stated.
Lee's 'shroud' suggestion, is where I put the block to sheet my high aspect spin to on my former N6.0. It'll hold, it's already there, etc.
