I went ahead and bought the blue bungee at West Marine. I'm working on installing it all right now.
Got a little crafty with some splicing:

Got mine from a rigging specialty shop at $0.35 per foot. Will check my records and get back to you. At $0.77 per foot, I can't blame you for looking for an alternative. |

I love it! Everyone thinks it looks complicated but really it simplifies things a little bit. I'll take some pictures tonight after work. |

I'm almost embarrassed because it needs a wash. Here are the pictures as promised. I'll snap some more this week when I'm out on the boat and its fully rigged.

I decided that I needed this system right after I installed a new neoprene rail kit; after one sail, the neoprene was a little torn up. This system will save my rail for sure. It should also be helpful when I'm trapped all the way aft on my new footstraps as well. |

Having recently upgraded my trapeze return system and discussing it in another thread I thought I'd post my work here as it's slightly different to the two illustrated setups here. What differences my setup is that my trampoline has four grommet holes for a double trapeze setup. I used 12 metres of 6mm bungee (6 metres per trap), monel rivets, s/s saddles and Ronstan blocks.

That aft trap location will drive you nuts. It'll be constantly in the way. When the tramps started coming from the factory with two grommets/side for the trap (~2008), the one that was just aft of the shroud always got in the way when you're sitting forward - yours is even further back. Now the boats only come with one grommet/side - one trap runs through that and the other goes over the rail. |

To be honest I can't say that it does get in the way or that I notice myself. I like having these fixed points to jump on and reach out from. If I was to move the aft one it easily unclips. |
