Hi - has anyone set up two trapezes on their Getaway? It looks easy to do but I'm concerned about the weight - any idea how much the mast/tang can safely handle?

The mast is not designed to carry double trapeze weight. Unless for lighter weight crews totalling less that 300 lbs... I do not recommend it.

Speaking of trapezes, I have trapeze kit that came with my boat that I will NEVER use. Pretty sure all the pieces are there but if you pay postage plus $50, it's yours.

Does it include the harness as well?

NO, just the trapeze kit. 37140001 is the P/N on the package. Package has been opened and I've never used anything, but that doesn't mean everything is in the package that is needed. I know it does have the wires with handles, couple of pieces of rope, washers, bungie and blocks.
