Trampoline (multihulls)

A trampoline on a multihull is a big piece of fabric that is stretched tightly between the two hulls of the boat. It's kind of like a big, bouncy mat that you can walk on or jump around on.

The trampoline is very important on a multihull because it helps distribute the weight of the people on the boat and keep the boat stable. When you're sailing, the trampoline flexes and moves with the waves, which helps absorb the shock of the boat hitting the water.

But, you have to be careful on the trampoline! It can be very slippery and bouncy, so you have to make sure you hold on tight to something or someone else when you're walking around on it. And, because it's open and exposed to the water, you also have to be careful not to accidentally fall off the boat.

Overall, the trampoline is a fun and essential part of a multihull boat, but you have to be careful and use it safely!
