Prindle 15 and 16:Thread loose end of mainsheet through trav-eler cleat and fairlead (mounted on swivelpedestal, rear crossbar), traveler car, andpad eye. Tie off with figure eight knot. Prindle 18:Tie or splice 5/16” traveler line to loose endof mainsheet and thread same as 15 and 16.Complete mainsheet and traveler on Prindle18Complete mainsheet and traveler on 16(same as 15)Tips on splicing from Leigh Martin: Cut thebitter end of the mainsheet off with a newsingle edge razor. Pull out 8 to 12 inches ofthe center core and cut with a hot knife for boat (ortape, cut with a razor, and burn end). Putthe end of this core up to end of travelersheet and carefully sew them together, endto end with no overlap using a good, heavydacron-polyester thread. Feed the core andtraveler sheet back into the mainsheet coveruntil it is all smooth. Sew the traveler sheet into the mainsheet cover for boats for the last 8 to 12inches. This can be done neatly by stitchingwith the weave of the braid so that yourstitches do not show. Make sure the stitchesgo through the middle of the new core (trav-eler). Complete it by turning end of themainsheet cover over the traveler sheet. 21
