Trapeze Positioning
We recommend that you practice going out
on the trapeze on shore before you try it
while sailing.
Before hooking up, pull the dog bone down
and see if it will reach the trampoline. The
lowest ring should almost reach the outside
edge of the trampoline. If it does not, adjust
the length using the height adjuster.
Sit on the side of the hull just forward of the
shroud. Pull the dog bone down and hook
the uppermost ring onto the harness hook.
Lean back until you are being supported by
the trapeze wire. Hold the jib sheet in your
back hand.
Bring your forward leg out, put foot on rail.
Now bring your aft leg out and put that foot
on the rail. Slowly straighten your legs out,
keeping your feet two feet apart. Lean back!
Do not hold onto the handle as you could
unhook yourself.
When trapezing on a reach, move your
weight back on the hull to keep the bows up.
LAUNCHING
Always launch with your bows into the wind.
There are two basic wind conditions that will
affect the way you launch:
Onshore - (wind blowing from the water
towards the land)
