catamaran.

Trampoline tensioning rear lacing
A well tensioned trampoline is paramount to its longevity
and your comfort on the boat. A correctly tensioned
trampoline is tight enough to stand on without much
deflection.
1.
Loop the laces using the trampoline tie buttons.
2.
Tension the trampoline loop by loop from port to
starboard.
3. You can use a wrench and a long nose plier to apply more
pulling force. Pinch the rope under tension at the tie
button. And tighten the rope using the wrench to prevent
the rope from cutting in your hands.
4. After tightening, go one or two buttons back to secure the
line.
5.
Tie the rear lacing line with a half-hitch knot. Continue
until you reach the end of the line.
Tools needed:
- Long nose plier
- Wrench or screwdriver
You will need to re-tighten the trampoline after the first
weeks or uses. The material needs time to set.
