What is the purpose of these grommets that are placed about 6" apart on the side of the tramp?

I believe those are for your trapeze lines to run through VS rubbing the outside of tramp rail. |

It prevents the premature wear of the shock cords caused by rubbing over the siderail non-skid (carpet, neoprene, etc.) - which is absent on this boat.If you're going to trapeze with any confidence, you need to have something covering the sidebar to improve footing. |

Thanks for the insight. Regarding the non-slip, yes, I agree. If you look at the pic, right above the grommets you'll see strips of non-slip waiting to be installed. They'll be going on the boat today. |

These are for your Trampeze lines. I have them on my 2008 H16. They work nice! |

It took me a few times looking at the pic to find the trap lines - They are between the two big toes. These boats do make girls smile. This was her first time sailing - she loved it. To help those who can not see the trap setup, I will post a couple more pix. In this one, you can see the how the bungee connects to the trap line -  And in this one, the duall grommet setup is clearly visible -  Quote: Hey Captain Sloan !!! Haven't seen you in more than a year. Hope things are well with you !!! Dave - Things are great - Sailed Santa Barbara this year -- nice. Couple times at Long Beach, but did not see you. |
