Our heavy-duty centerlace mesh Nacra 5.8 trampoline is very well built with these unique features:
Center and Aft lacing for higher trampoline tension
Adjustable hiking straps
Trapeze grommets 36 aft along the side rails
12" x 12" halyard pocket near the mast base
Adjustable hiking straps
Made of high-quality and very durable trampoline mesh (8oz. polypropylene basket weave mesh)
Sewn with large size V-138 UV-stabilized polyester thread (Tenara Teflon thread also available)
Heavily reinforced with 3" wide heavy-weight polypropylene webbing in grommet areas
At least seven rows of stitching in high-load areas (compared to 2 rows from other manufacturers)
Multi-layer construction in high-stress sections to better spread the load: three layers of mesh and a layer of webbing
We personally pounds each #4 spur grommet by hand (spur grommets are tough; they have 'teeth' that bite into the fabric)
Includes:
One-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship
Halyard Pocket
Hiking Straps
Available Options (at an extra cost):
Tenara Teflon Thread - By adding this option to your trampoline order we'll sew your new SLO Sail and Canvas trampoline in Tenara Teflon thread by Gore. Tenara has a 15 year warranty in the sun. If you store your boat on the beach this is the best thing you can add to extend the life of your trampoline. Our standard thread is a V-138 polyester thread that is UV stabilized and will last 5-7 years+ in the sun.
Zippered Pocket - A larger zippered pocket perfect to hold water bottles, lunch, or sunscreen. The pocket dimensions are roughly 15"x18" and 4" tall. Dimensions may vary slightly depending on the trampoline because of other things getting in the way of a bigger pocket such as hiking straps and lacing grommets, trapeze grommets, jib strop grommets etc. We put the pocket inboard of the hiking straps on Hobie 14 and Hobie 16's on the starboard side of the trampoline. Prindle trampolines will have the zippered pocket on the port side of the trampoline inboard of the hiking straps and opposite the standard halyard pocket we include on all trampolines.
Lace Kit - Pre cut 1/4" (and sometimes 1/8") line to lace up your new trampoline. Available in white or black.
Note: Non USA Nacra catamarans may require a narrower trampoline. Measure your boat to make sure it is the same width as listed below. Also click here for more
Very good quality, perfect fit, good phone support.
SLO sent me a request to review my new trampoline from them for my Nacra 5.8. Well, this is my second boat and second trampoline purchase. I am grateful that I can still get a new custom trampolines. I am totally satisfied.
Note: I decided black was the best color, which in discussion with SLO has greater UV resistance. Also, I elected to get the upgraded thread that again my give me better UV resistance. Also I ordered an addition zippered pocket. It looks great, although I can see it may impede the crew a bit when tacking. I also bought the line for tensioning the trampoline. This worked out well for lengths. (Here I recommend starting at the bow end of the boat by the mast and working back, then returning in the opposite holes to get a nice crisscross pattern. On the stern start in the middle of the line and middle of the trampoline and work out in both directions, then return in opposite holes to again get a nice crisscross pattern).Chris
