What material are the Hobie tramps made from?
Is it used on other Hobie sailing craft?
Can this be purchased in lengths/rolls?
Is there an OEM equivalent that will match the existing AI/TI tramps?
Super-secret project underway...

It's a material used in awnings. Phifertex. We have used it on catamaran trampolines... forever. We don't sell it as a raw material. |

Thanks Matt. We have located it. Do you know if it is the 70% or 90% shade version? |

The black is part number T54X049560 19 X 19 X04-BLACK if that helps. |

19X19 may be an custom Phifertex industrial product cuz I don't see it out there. The 90% shade Phifertex X04 Plus (3007165) is a much tighter 42 x 12 mesh weave designed for slings. The standard Phifertex X04 70% shade (3006894) is a 17x11 weave and probably the equivalent, judging by the look of my tramps. Thank you. We'll try to adapt a set of stock Hobie tramps but if that don't work, we'll ask around for Phifertex. |

It will be interesting to see what you are working on. The Hobie tramps don't look like they are sown but bonded/heat pressed. |

It appears they are triple folded and heat sealed. |

We received sample material from sailrite this week. The 70% shade cloth is way too thin and porous. The 90% (plus) is about the same thickness as Hobies but a different, finer weave. I would definitely recommend the 90% cloth for making custom tramps or repairing the Hobie models, even if it is not a perfect match. The 70% might be a suitable material for spray skirts. |

Hi Nohuhu, I´ve made a spray skirts with the 70% phifertex and it doesn´t work properly because is too porous... I´m going to try with a double layrs...and we will see if it works... |

80% shadecloth for a Sprayskirt is about as perfect as you can get, and much cheaper.

I made my TI trampolines with mesh from Sailrite Very strong durable and inexpensive polypropilene 74" wide sold by the linear yard item #5624 only in black the thread to use is V-92 Item # 100071 strong and UV resistant I made a set of tramps for my old larger Tri and they lasted for ever, still in good shape when I sold the boat.
