Unlike a 4 tonner, they are allowed to add as many bits of string as they like, so you just put a bit of string through the mast and out to the trapeze wires, lead it down to a cleat at the deck - pull on the string and the trap wires get pulled in to the lower holes - ta daaaaa!!!!! (Big applause, claps drum roles, cymbals crashing...) |
