Trampoline

[blmnsailor]

When considering a replacement trampoline for a SC-19 with boltropes on the aft beam and side hulls and a wrap-around the forward beam, is it better to install one that is cut straight or on the bias? The original tramp is straight cut, and even though one could get the tension pretty good fore and aft, the side to side tension wasn't as good. I could see the benefits of a bias cut tramp in that it would be easier to install into the side rope guides, and more even tension applied throughout by how tight one laced the forward wrap. Thanks.

A bias cut mesh tramp will fit better and it will be easier to get it tight and keep it tight. The alternate to that is the newer net material we use is large enough that there are no seams and there is no "bias" to the material so it is even easier to tighten.
