Trapeze assembly
Illustration
Etapes Description
Take the trapeze line and handles in the wire bag (n° 7 in the wire bag page 13)
1
Assembling the J&H handles
Tie a knot firmly at the end of the 6 mm line. Fix
the knotted rope firmly to the handle as on the
drawing, ensuring that the rope cannot move
from the top center of the handle. Lead the other
end into the thimble of the trapeze wire (under
the black handle).
2
Then, attach the rope-lock as shown on the
picture.
The height of trapezing can be adjusted by chan-
ging the position of the rope lock.
3
Take the two trapeze shock cords. Each of them
must be lead under the trampoline to connect
the right trapeze to the left one, raising through
the trampoline grommets.
Use a bowline knot to secure the trapeze lines to
the trapeze shock cord as shown on the picture.
4
Now the rig can be tensioned. One person can
pull down on a trapeze handle whilst the other
person repositions the clevis pin in the stay
adjuster. Ensure that the two shrouds are pinned
at the same height in both adjusters. If too much
tension is applied it may become difficult for the
mast to rotate freely.
Check this before proceeding with raising the
sail.
