Connect the main sheet block to the
1
traveler car. Attach the shackle that is
part of the block through the clevis pin on
the traveler car. Hook the mainsheet to the
clew grommet at the rear of the main sail.
The tail end of the main sheet line is
2
used for traveler adjustment. Pass this
line end through the swivel cleat jaws (from
froward to towards rear of the boat) then eye.
Pass the line through the traveler car and then
through the stainless eye on the rear side of the
crossbar. Tie a figure 8 knot in the end of the line
to keep it from coming out of the eye. When sai-
ling upwind, cleat the traveler more to the center
of the boat. On a reach across the wind or when
sailing downwind adjust and cleat the traveler
further out the track. When sailing in strong wind
you can move the car further out to help keep the
boat more level and limit heeling or tipping.
