I'm a newbie cat sailor and I'm about to epoxy my tramp frame together. I'm hoping to stiffen up my boat a bit. What I need to know is, has anyone done this and which parts did you epoxy. I am assuming that I should epoxy the side rails, cross bars and them glue the whole mess to the pylons.

There is a good article in the On The Wire archives. Take a look:

Also, do a search for "epoxy 16" on this forum.

Thanks for directing me to the article on epoxy. I had read that piece ( it's where I got the idea to do this ), but couldn't remember where I had found it. Thanks Again
