due to AI tramps being fairly expensive and not many second hand ones coming up for sale I decided to make one.
used a shade sail and some spare tie downs.
used heavy duty polyester to sew it all together.

Nicely done. The cam cleats are actually a good upgrade to the original tramps. I'd also run some bungee around the edge and end of the tramp to connect items to.

Re: DIY AI Tramp
thanks guys, good idea too Shane. also might add on some pockets and some more support so hopefully it doesn't sag as much.

Nice. Given me an idea for my catch bag.
Well past the edge, almost at the point of no return.

If you want to reduce sagging try stitch some "pockets/sleeves" & slide some flat Sail battens into them.Nello wrote:thanks guys, good idea too Shane. also might add on some pockets and some more support so hopefully it doesn't sag as much.

Re: DIY AI Tramp
Nice bit of sewing there Nelson, can you still swing the outriggers in with the tramp on?
