LACING THE TRAMPOLINE
Once the aft lace is tight, begin cinching the center lace tight from forward to aft. You
5
will notice that as you get the trampoline tight you will have more lace line aft to com-
plete the lacing. Work your way aft until the entire trampoline is tight. Tie off the line with a few half hitches.
Tuck the lace flap into the opposite side lace line. The flap will help keep you drier while sailing and keep lines from
slipping into the water between the laces.
FRONT TRAMPOLINE (option) : Install the forward trampoline following the same technique as with
6
the main. Except, because the forward trampoline is one piece, it is necessary to alternate from side
to side while feeding it into the tracks. Once the forward trampoline is nearly all the way into the track it
may be necessary to use the Bow Spreader Pole for leverage to pull it taught. Tie a lace line to the grom-
met. Wrap the line around the beam and then pass it back through the grommet again. This will create a
3:1 purchase to help pull the trampoline forward. Once again, alternate from side to side to keep the tram-
poline even. Carefully feed at the opposite end to prevent the trampoline from getting wedged in the track
opening. Pull the trampoline all the way tight.
Slide the longer (of the two provided) lace rod into the forward trampolines pocket. Tie the
7
lace line to the eyelet. Pass the line through the grommet in the trampoline. Pass the line back through the
eyelet, then over to the first slide. Pass the line to the first cutout and around the rod. Then back to the first
slide. Continue to each slide and cutout across the tramp. Come back to the starting point and begin tightening the
lace line to pull the trampoline tight. Work your way across the trampoline to the other side, then tie off with half
hitches.
