| Post subject: | Trapeze parts |
I have had an H16 for two years, have never used a harness to hike out. I have the trapeze wires you see below:  But nothing else. What other accessories do I need to purchase? Since I've never owned a harness, please list literally everything I would need to attach those wires to me. |

1) Shackle to connect wires to mast tang. 2) Two lengths of line, approx 1/4" Dia x 3' long. 3) Two trapeze rings (piece that your trap hook engages into, "J&H" handles are the most popular on Hobies). 4) Two plastic rope stop/dogbones. These are used to set the trapeze height. 5) One piece of 1/4" bungee about 8 feet long. This is the bare bones equipment needed for a single trapeze system. Double the quantity of items 2 thru 5 for a double trap system. You can also add a pulley to the end of each trap wire to make the system run more smoothly and you can add more elaborate "on the fly" height adjustment systems if desired. sm |

What about a harness and some kind of connector? And where do I use the parts you named? |

p.s. I don't have a harness, or any such equipment. I've never had to use it. I've just held onto the trapeze wires or sat down and used the hiking straps. Do I need a different type of lifejacket? |

Does anyone have a diagram, and instructions, on how to put all the parts together, and hook yourself up? What kind of harness system should I buy? What kind of trapeze hook? |

The assembly manuals show the setup. These are in the model FAQ and our support area: http://www.hobiecat.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=12697 You can see options for trapeze seats in the parts catalog: http://www.hobiecat.com/sailing/accessories.html |
