Hi all,

I am looking for a trampoline bag for my Nacra 5.8. I have zippers on the trampoline but not the bag... Anybody knows where I could find one? used or new...

Or an alternative to the stock bag to fit the halayards when sails are up?

Thank you
erice

i bought some zippered mesh bags from a $1 shop and sewed on the back corners to the tramp with some whipping twine and a big needle

nothing easier than threading a needle through a mesh bag and a mesh tramp

I think PreSailedParts (seller on this site) had/has nice, zipper, mesh, tramp bags. i had ordered 1 but it was to thin for my needs and returned it. it was 11" wide and i needed a little more.

It was a very nice bag, but didn't fit my needs.

I now have lots of storage on-board but i still use my Lexus trunk mesh bag on my tramp to hold lose gear. you could buy a similar trunk bag at any auto store. I attached it with line to my hiking strap grommet holes.

you can make it out in this pic

Nico - I will show you the trampoline bag that I have when we go sailing in a couple of weeks but thought I would show everyone as I think it is the best way to keep deck uncluttered.
This bag is approximately 2'x6'and is divided into three even sections. Both ends have large pockets where one side I have wetsuits, booties, gloves, extra PFD, etc. The other side I keep four harnesses, righting bucket and any extra bulky gear. The middle secion is divided into two sides, one side is a full pocket that I have all extra line (bow line, jib halyard, main halyard, and a few varying sizes of old line just in case. The other side is divided into two pockets that store everything else. One is for camera, gloves, tools, wallet, phone, etc and the other is generally empty.

The coolest thing about this bag is after I dry everything out after a sail, I just pack it back into the trampoline bag and is ready the next time I go sailing. I just lash the bag onto the front tramp and I am ready to go. It lays generally flush on the tramp and has not gotten in the way. I also lash a soft cooler to this tramp bag. I do not have any good pictures on the boat but wil hopefully remember the next time I go out. I just seem to forget for the last 5-6 times out.....
