1. Locate the traveler line and small traveler block from the
delivery kit. On the stern of the boat locate the two fairleads
(Figure B).
2. Run one end of traveler line through the starboard fairlead
(from bow to stern, Figure 15), then through the small traveler
block (Figure 16) and continue through the port side fairlead
(from stern to bow, Figure 16).
3. Make a loop in the port side of the line as if you were
going to tie a bowline (Figure 17). Keeping in mind that the
free end of the port side line will be cleated off. Take the
starboard end of the line and complete the bowline by going
through the port loop (Figure 18).
4. Continue the tail end of the port side line through the
cleat and tie off with a bowline handle (Figure 19).
