Each side.
Looking at the photo, it may be less than 1.5" - but that was as much as I could get it to go with the mainsheet.
Bottom line - you are not going to hurt the sidebar or the trampoline unless you're built like a gorilla.

Can Anyone tell me how many inches of compression should be applied to the sidebars (with the main blocks) when replacing the lacing on the trampoline ? Would appreciate any info. Thanks. Happy Sailing, David |

About 1.5" of deflection is not hard to achieve with the mainsheet. They'll pop back some when you release the pre-tension. |

Is that 1.5" "each side" or "overall" ? Happy Sailing, David |
