A tramp between the bows on a hobie 16? I'm pretty sure that would turn the H16 into a non-stop pitchpole machine. |

The design of some cats causes the forestay load on bridles to pull bows together. Instead of adding structure to the bows... a spreader is added. This is common when the bridle angle is very low... so a jib tack can be lower. |
