Bugger, Was out today having a great time when I beached my boat without pulling up my centre board properly. Dunno what happened but it finally came up fully...
Okay, I have studied the very detailed centre board repair photos in both the Trime photo album and the Triple Play album. Thanks for posting these guys -...
... Hi Daniel, I just move two files that explain the repair that i made to Triple Play. I thing that the raise line got jammed between the center board case ...
Daniel My experience has been it is always easier to do minor repairs than to do major modifications. changing the Tramp from a centerboard to a dagger board...
You must be really frustrated by the leak and the centreboard to consider these extremes? Thinking about the area in which you sail would having a dagger...
Guys, Thanks for the responses. Russ, yeah I'm a bit frustrated. Didn't really hit the beach that hard. I purposefully left the "down" rope barely in the cleat...
If the board twists it can really jam. Unscrew the top plate and use a piece of wood as a drift to drive the board down. I have done this with the boat in...
While we're talking centre boards, what's the easiest way to replace the ropes ? Can you do it without removing the centre board ? (I haven't been brave enough...
Hi Tom, I replace my control line when I removed the centerboard. This will be the easiest in the long run. I know that Dave Fazioli used fork lift for boats...
Hi Daniel, I agree with David Clayman fix what you got it will be the easiest in the long run. When I was working on my centerboard I noticed that the raise...
Dave. Thanks for this. As I said in an earlier post, my board had always been pretty dodgy. When I yanked on the "up" line it would come up about half way ...
Raul, Thanks for these ideas. I probably won't do major surgery on my Tramp (ie, replace the centre board with a dagger board), but I am very tempted to cut...
Gidday everyone, Well my boat's been dragged home and is now residing in the side yard ready for work. I located 4 boat stands and have them resting on the...
Daniel What we did when we were having problems with the centerboard was to dig a hole in the ground. Lucky it was sandy soil, but it was easier than having to...
Daniel, I took my CB out by lifting the boats on the normal boat stands and dug a hole where the board touched the ground to get the clearance that I needed to...
Steve, LOL :) :) I just said that to Barry in my previous post. Too maybe put it on the stands then dig a small hole. We'll see how it al goes. deepee OZ ... ...
Hi every one i am the proud owner of a tramp tri which i have just repainted and i am putting her back together as we speak.i am having trouble sourcing the...

I have been considering purchasing a Retriever-Mate to put on the rear of my trailer to assist in retrieving my Tramp single handed. I know that I saw some...
Hi Ron I have used a Retriever-Mate since about 1992 with my Tramp in Australia. While I can find the original brochure (see attached), I cannot find the...
Hi Ron, I similarly used the D11, but since I went and looked at John's to checkout how it fits, that isn't a surprise. I have scanned the brochure but I...
John and Craig Thanks for the information and input. I think I'll go with the D11. Now all I have to do is check with Whitworths to see if they will ship to...
Hi Ron, Will you please post the brochure if you get some time. When you contact the manufacture ask if you can get a price brake for ordering more than one. I...
Hi daniel the rope track is readily available from Ullrich Aluminium @ burleigh heads, which they call sail track, and is available from Capral. I replaced...
... Okay, I've managed to answer this question myself. Below is a copy of a post Chris Nelson (owner of "Coco" - Ostac Tramp)made some time back where he gives...
Daniel I think all that you need to do is make up the Pivot pin locking strips per the print in the files (cb_pivoit_pin_lock_strip) , center board section....
... Raul, Yeah, I agree. Case looks good. All I need is Pivot pin locking strips (PPLStrips). Not quite sure where your extra filler plates go? I'm guessing...
... PPL ... Yes my case slot was wider at the top so i had to make a filler. Make a small wood block 46mm an make sure that the case runs true. My case and...
