The foredeck area on VOYAGE catamarans has two, webbing trampoline nets divided by a central walkway, the forward hulls and a solid GRP deck with lazerettes housing fuel tanks, water tanks, propane cylinders and the anchor windlass.

All the sailing controls can be managed from the cockpit. In most conditions the trampolines are a popular and comfortable area to enjoy sailing from.

It should be stressed that whilst underway, anyone on the foredeck must be wary of the genoa, sheets and lines. Crew should be brought back to the cockpit before tacking, gybing or if the sea state becomes rough.

The trampolines are strong enough to be walked on, laid on and used as an extension of the deck but children should be discouraged from jumping up and down on them as they are not designed for this purpose.

The ventilation hatches positioned over the forward cabins can withstand the wait weight of an average sized adult but they can be slippery when wet so it is better to avoid walking on them. The ventilation hatches can also be used as emergency access on deck.

The anchor windlass is housed below deck level and the chain runs through the port side walkway tube exiting at the forward cross beam, thus keeping this area clear of obstructions. The anchoring bridle should be left attached to the cross beam with the middle pulled through the center of the “A”frame. Tie the chain hook back to the trampoline lacing with a light line.

The forward pulpits on each bow are the mounting points for the port and starboard navigation lights and also feature teak seats.
