Anyone have any experiences with these tramps? Looking to replace a 14 tramp and hate the two piece tramps. I saw these and they look great but wondered if anyone had actual experience they could share |

On the 14 and 16, trampoline tension is a key component of keeping the boat stiff. You can't get that kind of tension with a one-piece tramp. Ironic that they're called "Race Day" when they're not class legal for racing. What's your beef with the OEM trampoline? |

Hey Matt, long time no write  This is for my kids to sail who are used to the Prindle tramp where lines do not disappear from sight through the gaps (I KNow I can get a line catcher), and it is way more comfortable sitting on mesh than center lines and grommets, but frankly i was just cuious and wondered about the tension. They seem to tension on the rear bar and one of the side bars. Personally I like the cleaner one piece tramps, but needed feedback prior to jumping the wrong direction |

I have not had experience with the one piece but I did buy a two piece tramp from them. I only sailed the boat once with the new tramp but I had it laced up for most of the summer season. It was good quality and similar to the aftermarket tramp I had on my H16 for 6+ years until I sold the boat. When I broke down the boat for winter storage, I noticed that some grommets were broken. I called Race Day and Rick told me that they received a bad batch of grommets from the manufacturer. Without hesitation, he sent me a brand new tramp with grommets from a new distributor. He stands behind his product and is obviously concerned about his reputation. |
