On 1/30/2012 I ordered a set of wing tramps from SOLSAIL.COM in California on line. They arrived today in South East Florida 2/5/2013. I understand that they do not make them up ahead of time probably because of color choices. That is what I call good service.

Now that you have had these wing tramps for a couple of years, how would you rate them? Did you get mesh or vinyl? Need to order some and for my 17 and wondered about the quality, and mesh vs. vinyl?

Mesh is lighter than vinyl. Also, mesh won't hold water. If you get any sag at all your vinyl tramp can hold a puddle.
Multihulls.net has the Sunrise brand for $239. I have Sunrise tramps on an N5.0, & wings for a 20'x10' Mystere. They are a top quality product.
If cost is the main concern, Atomic has H17 tramps on sale, $209 for wings. Never used one, but have not heard anything bad.

I've got mesh on the wings and vinyl on the main tramp, both from SLO. I've got them a few years back, and very happy with the quality.

I've got a set of vinyl wing covers in blue that need to be sold. Sold the boat already. If you're interesting I can find out how much my dad wants for them. No clue who makes them. They look like factory stuff.
