African Cats offers Trampoline webbing for catamarans made from Dyneema® fiber.
Features of the webbing:
Completely UV resistant
Less than 2 % stretch
Far stronger then presently used materials
75% lighter (350 grams p/m2)
More than 80% open, so water can fall through the webbing very easily
Very comfortable you can even sleep on it. The maze sizes are available in 11 and 17 mm square
LOW STRETCH
Because of the low stretch it is now possible to tie the webbing directly to the hulls and the forward crossbeam, so there will not be any openings between the yacht and the trampoline, making the forward platform a safer and more stable place to work or relax.
DEVELOPMENT
African Cats has developed this new webbing because the normally used trampolines do not let water penetrate the mazes well. Also, the weight of most webbing is over 2 kg/m2. The degradation and stretching of nylon webbing was another reason for African Cats to change to the Dyneema® webbing.
USED ON ALL HER CATS
From today all new African FastCats will be delivered with Dyneema® trampoline webbing.
PURCHASE
African Cats invites any interested catamaran builder to contact her if they want to use the same material so they can also produce safer and lighter cats.
