| Only problem with one-piece tramps is that there are far less places to grab when you're in the water under the boat. The other problem with a 1-piece tramp on a Hobie 14/16 is that you can't get the tramp tight enough to take the slop out of the frame. You need center lacings if you want a tight boat. sm | | | Re: mesh or vinal tramp???

| wasn't a problem with my TheMightyHobie18: Bias Cut Most trampolines with boltrope track on 3 sides are bias cut which means that the fibers of the mesh run at a 45 deg. angle to the sides. This eliminates the need to lace from 2 sides since the fibers pull at the adjacent sides from the lacing side and stretch the entire surface tight. This also increases the holding power of the grommets since all the fibers of the mesh can wrap around the reinforcement. http://www.multihullnets.com/BeachCat/bcinfo.aspOnly problem with one-piece tramps is that there are far less places to grab when you're in the water under the boat.

South Carolina | the topic is well covered now, but if i may add my opinion;
From my experience water doesn't pool on the tramp of the classic H16. It's convex in shape. The solid vinyl blocks the spray from underneath. People used to put strips of plastic in the lacing to block the spray that could get thru that gap.
As for tipping over backward on a H14; you as positioned too far aft during your back-up. The art of tacking a 14 is prolly long lost by now, but i can assure you that there have been many worlds and nats. held in rough ocean conditions where the top guys were getting around the course w/o tipping over. I thought the strip in the lacing was to prevent the mainsheet from falling through.
