16' Trapeze Compatible with Getaway?

A friend has a Hobie 16 and has never used his trapeze. He said he would give it to me providing it could be used on my Getaway? Would they be compatible?

Close, but different length wires. The H16 wire is 2 1/8" longer... It will work, but could place the handle a little low. We like the handle at 32" off the rail you trap from for best function getting out and back in. You lift your weight from the handle.

Thanks Matt... Forgot to mention that the Getaway has wings- How would effect the trapeze experience?

We don't recommend trap use on the wings due to the possibility they could telescope in while in use... would require another 1-2 feet of shortening if you did try.

I understand... Don't want any 'trapeze malfunctions'!

Bob, go ahead and add the traps. I got a Getaway set when
I got my getaway that has wings and shortened them and
also got the harken adjusters and coated wire rings with handle
to hook into. I like them, work fine, if you are worried about
wings folding in tape the pins holding them in place. i don't
bother. just set everything up the way you want as far as actual
length before cutting wire and recrimping with nicopress sleeves
