Boat sail # 7409
Using my iPhone and Chrome browser to access site. Is this OK or do I need a laptop.
Would like to view the album posted by Quarath in Technical help section.
How do I do this?
Thanks

Hello and welcome Peter!
Searching the tech folder is manual (visual) and you're going to need a bigger screen than your iPhone to do it easily. There is a lot of Prindle information here at thebeachcats.com.
I loved my P 16.
With what do you need help?

You can view the site on a phone or tablet but everything will be easier on a laptop/desktop screen.
The Photo Albums do have a search, so if the album or photos have a title and description you can find what you are looking for.
Search link is in the left column of the photo albums. Here is direct link

Hi Bob,
I saw an old post on trapeze rigging help. Apparently, a guy called Quarath has posted an album of photos which deals with this subject. Damon (the webmaster) kindly offered me some useful help. So I am now back home using my laptop and now have good internet speeds and I am poking around on the site to try and find these photos. The guy citing the Quarath post (turbohobo July 2009) may not have provided the exact title of the album. I have a Prindle 16 with one trapeze wire on each side of the mast and I think the trampoline has all the grommets, etc to support the rigging requirements. Currently the trapeze wire has a t-handle and beneath the handle is a metal loop to which is tied the upper loop of the dog bone. I would like to convert this set up to use a shock cord capture feature. I also intend to add a hook in ring and some kind of adjustment mechanism for varying the height of the hook in ring.
