Wire to wire isn't that hard, just make sure you have a firm grip and you will be fine
 . If you don't have a grip then you migth go for a swim . It feels a lot harder when yoru not so confident on the trapeze but once oyur more confidence you will probably find yourself doing it unintentionally when you need to get out quickly..

Thanks ratters... weight isn't always everything as we proved in a GP14 yesterday with 10 stone too little weight in there up in the top 10
 Thanks for the info, yes last time i trapezed off the centreboard case at first then climbed out, was just asking in general. Not sure I'll be wire to wire tacking, think I'd rather not swim... we'll see.

get out on the handle first if the wind is looking lively then hook on! Wire to wire tacking is the only whay in proper traping weather, also try and be smooth with stepping in an out. Front foot should be as horizontal as possible to help balance but also to make your body slightly face forwards sop you can see the race course. I found the best thing for training for me was watching higher and faster and time in the boat! One other thing to remember is not to think to much about it and just get on the wire!

Front foot first for going out, back foot first for coming in.
If this is regular trapezing then go find a harness that you like rather than buying a harness on someones advice as what works for them might not work for them. |
