Best Multihull Tramp Material

Its time to replace my tramps, which are Currently Ferrari Mesh, which I have been very happy with, except for the lifespan which has been under 10 years - The Aussie sun is very harsh.


My other option is a Spectra Mesh, which is quite a bit more expensive and does not feel as nice on bare feet, although its not that bad either. Not sure how this will deal with Tropical hot sun though?


Any ideas on the above or anything else worth looking at?

Re: Best Multihull Tramp Material

10 years in sub 30 latitude with Ultra Cross Dyneema from Net Systems. Had I painted them before their 9th year I wouldn’t be replacing them. The failure is not drastic, however, it is some of the meshes at the edge breaking which is fixable if I just didn’t want to buy new
