I need a new trampoline all of a sudden. A lot of people sell them (Slo Sail and Canvas, Multihullnets.com, store.catsailor.com and murrays). Where should I get my trampoline from, why?

Thanks guys!

I saw the title of this and the first thing that came to mind was "My inlaws" (hopefully my wife doesn't read this).

I have a Nacra tramp, but have been looking at the bias cut sunrise tramps.

I went with SLO Sail for my trampoline last year and love it! They are one of very few who offers a blue tramp without overcharging for color. I had some problems with the first one he sent me.....he had a new one out to me within a few days along with shipping labels to return the original one. Relieved to find that he does stand behind his stuff.

Multihullnets.com (Sunrise Yacht) makes an outstanding product, with great materials... but they are pricey and take a while...

All the locals here use and love them

Slo sails. Had an original vinyl tramp on my H16. Bought a mesh one from Slo sails and added on the optional pocket for $30 and line catch for $15.

Besides it being incredibly comfortable, it makes the boat look new!

Only have been sailing it for a few months, but it is holding up well. I think I paid $305.00 total with shipping. So far highly recommended.

Mine is a Sunrise Yacht tramp. Not sure of age but I have had the boat for 5 years and it wasn't new when I got it. The thread started to rot away around the edges so I took it and had it re-stitched this winter. The rest of the material looks like it will last for several more years if not longer. So I am happy with mine.

Sunrise offerers an 8 year warranty on their top grade materials (to the original purchaser).

My tramp is only 3 years old and probably needs replacment.. but i sail around 135 days a year. It is covered when not in use.. but i use the snot out of it.

Lots of choices, but please check out Tampa Catamarans

The reasons?

1. Owner Earl Dame is a long time supporter and advertiser here at TheBeachcats.com.

2. They make a good tramp.

3. Excellent price.
