[quote=kasper]Don't tie off to the crossbeam, the others are right -it'll wander back and forth all day and sit parallel to the waves resulting in some violent side to side bobbing. You HAVE to tie off at the bows to avoid this. I added a small shackle to each hull's forestay bridle attachment. Then i tied a length of rope between them, and tied a loop into the center with a hook. The resulting bridle is just long enough that I can hook it to the front crossbeam when not in use and not drag in the water. With this setup my crew can lay on the tramp up front, hold the hook on the bridle and clip it to our mooring buoy as I sail up to it. The bows will always point into the wind/waves. As Dave says though, it's not a good idea to leave a cat tied up unattended. I just do this between outings on sailing days.[/quote]
