Not all multihull trampolines are created equal. In this episode, we are working on fitting the new Dyneema netting to make our trampoline. It is low stretch and extremely durable but a lot of work to install of course. Shayne shares how he approaches the tensioning of the netting (he has done a few nets in his rigging career from Gunboats and HH66 multihulls to 18ft skiff wings) and we love how the front of Paikea is now looking.
