Trapeze bungee length.

Post by Jaycb »

Hi all,
Could anyone tell me how long the trapeze bungee needs to be please? I need to replace mine and have found 3.3 metres of it but won't have a chance to check if it's long enough until the weekend.
Thanks.
J.

Amazingly we have rules for these things. Although nobody cares and nobody is measuring.

Technically It has to be between 2m and 2.5m. It's going to be pretty tight if it's just 2m on a 2.13m wide boat.

2.5m is about right with a couple of bowlines.
