i have a 17 that has a tamp w/welded seams, but no foot straps. that's kind of a problem 'cause until I get the wings fixed it'll be hard to heel out w/o straps! IF it is a factory tramp... and I ADD homemade straps... is that class legal ? thanks, |

There are no hiking straps on the stock Hobie 17 tramp. In the Hobie 17 Class Rules: Quote: 6.4 Hiking straps may be added to the trampoline or aluminium crossbars. So, you're OK to add the straps. I can't imagine sailing the 17 without the wings, though. Talk about a low, wet ride! |

Got to agree with Mbounds, it would be beyond wet. Couldn't imagine being out there without my wings unless it was really calm. |

I have DiKane foot straps on my wings screwed to the tubing,and I think you would be better off sewing a web fabric on the wing tramp fabric at the outside tubing location.Make your foot straps by leaving a "pocket" to fit your foot with wet suit booties on.My have weathered poorly and are pricey too.They are 20 years old too.I have 3 per side,one for each trapeze I have.Only one foot needs to be in that pocket and the other floating as needed for balance. Good Luck,Bill 404 21SE |

great, thanks for the replies. i'll have to put straps on the tramp so I can go on test sails until I figure out how to get the wings repaired... In reality, I hope to be trapped out the entire time! (one wing is bent/crimped pretty well and has a gash/opening at the bend) |
