Abstract

Catamaran sailboats have their user support platforms improved to prevent the trampoline from disengaging from its support tubes by interposing a plurality of small plastic retainers having a hook-like cross-section spaced apart along the inboard side of the tube slots of the pair of support tubes located approximately at the beam of the sailboat by which the trampoline is supported.
