Having small hands I dread replacing the tramp but this time I got it right; nice and tight and only Crazy Minnie (the 'other' cat) to help—or get in the way. Using some tips I found on this forum here’s what I did: I used the mainsheet to pull in the sidebars. Don the sailing gloves. Lace the tramp at the center. Lace the rear section and used an old spade handle (after I broke the handle of the rubber mallet) to lever and tension the line against the rear beam, always pulling UP through the grommet and planting a piece of doweling in the grommet to prevent the line retracting while tensioning the next. I went over these two rear lines several time and then went back to the center again using the T-shape of the handle to lever and tension without damaging the tramp. In the past I used vice grips as recommended by some users but found it damaged the line and I think the doweling is a great idea. Photos: http://www.johnahern.net/page89.html |
