Thanks for the help, I found a person who makes covers etc in Inverness he is going to replace the bolt rope for me. He has measured the old very flattend poly prop rope ( very cheap rope!!! is this standard?)at 10mm dia and is going to replace it with a 12mm good quality rope. i thinkk that will do the trick.

My next question is how do you know when you have the trampoine at the corrrect tension? or is it a matter of personal preference?

cheers again to those have replied previously

its great for me to use the site and get answers, being new to sailing and very new to sailing a cat your info is invaluable, especially as hardly anybody sails a cat in the far north of Scotland so it's difficult to ask anybody face to face

cheers

Steve
