Re: Trimaran nets/trampoline attachments

Thanks, Cav, I was going to ignore that observation by paxfish. Every boat around me is wet at night with fresh water condensation, and sitting about 3-4 feet above salt water hardly qualifies as arid conditions. And our summer monsoons certainly rival the humidity of a number of tropical climes. And, so far, three years into the new tramps, the spectra line has held up, the epoxy and LPU are solid, and other than the bird poop from a group of insolent seagulls, night herons and one gynormous blue heron, the nets themselves are beautiful. I did apply some 303 Aerospace Sealant on them a couple months ago. Seems to help the poop to wash off easily.

Always good to get the scoop on poop!

My apologies. Carry on, and have fun!
