I bought a 59er and am importing it into Toronto this summer. I am expecting to outfit the boat with a trap for my teenage son / crew and was wondering if you could offer any tips on hardware / attachment recommendations (on the off change you see this late posting!). |

Either weld a small stainless ring to the upper shroud turnbuckle, so you can attach a spliced loop of dyneema trapeze line to, or a 6mm line through the mast at the turnbuckle apertures, with a bobble to take the load on the leeward side of the mast. The line can have stainless rings spliced on the ends doe the trapeze lines.

By small ring would something in the 10-12mm diameter range welded on a vertical axis (316 stainless steel) be ok? Are there any material compatibility issues with welding the ring and you are aware of? I don't have the boat / rig yet and here in Toronto so there aren't any 59ers to look at.
Thanks for the tip!

that would be fine..loads of Int 14's have this system. No issues with welding a stainless small ring onto the compressed end of the turnbuckle.
