[quote=pairajacks]I've got an older Nacra 5.2 (1985) with a center tube and jib wires running on top of the trampoline and no grommet holes for dagger boards or trapeze. After alot of googling, i discovered that apparently most people have removed the center tube. I definately want to get the jib lines (mostly) below the trampoline. (In a Nacra, the jib blocks anchor to a position aft of the mast, thus the cables that run from the mast cross beam to the rear cross beam).
In order to install grommets, I figure I'll need to remove the trampoline for someone to sew reinforcement patches (this will also require drilling out rivets and removing center tube). Is there a kit of some sort to allow this to be done in-place, or is it necessary to have reinforcement patches?
It's sort of odd that the trampoline is captive on the center beam. It's also odd that the people would remove a structural element and not compromise the boat in some way. Thoughts, experiences?[/quote]
