Well... Curious where the rest of my post went...

Questions

I have a new tramp on the way (slosail&cannvas). Any trick to installing it? Looks like I may need to remove one of the cross members, which seems like a pain.

I can't seem to figure out where the barber hauler mounts.

Yaers ago, I had a Hobie 16 that had a nice handy rope underneath to help right the boat. No such item here. I'm sure it's been beat to death somewhere in this forum, but I'd love to get some advice on the

preferred

way to get this boat back up.

Oh, and FYI, been away from sailing a few years, but have decent experience having owner a number of boat over the past 20 years.

Thanks

Cb

I would get this. It is the bible of our sport. There is a whole chapter on the Nacra, just not sure which one. I have 30 years in and I still learned from it. Ask all the questions you need to, that what we are here for to learn.

No need to remove the beam, there will be an opening in the groove to get the tramp out/in.

If it is like the 5.2 there is no opening on the front beam. That mean you need to remove the mast first and then remove the beam strips on one of the front corner to slide the trampoline out. It's a pain if you don't usually take your mast down.
