G'day,

Not a pest at all. I appreciate any comments, from any source (even you,
Fritz :-).

The camping layout we discussed had telescoping beams operated by lines, the
same as extendable bowsprits. This would make it trailerable, and also
could be slept in on the trailer. The windward half of the trampoline is
solid (maybe slatted, or perforated for hull flying windage reduction). The
windward hull has a pop top with cloth sides to give near standing headroom.
The lee side of the cloth sides extends over the solid tramp as a cover for
the bed. May also fit a 2 person table in the ww hull.

A second option is a dome tent on the tramp, which would be much less hassle
to build, but does not give the option of making a cup of tea from the
comfort of your bed.

All just conjecture at the moment. Any input much appreciated.

regards,

Rob
