(same as 15)
Tips on splicing from Leigh Martin: Cut the
bitter end of the mainsheet off with a new
single edge razor. Pull out 8 to 12 inches of
the center core and cut with a hot knife (or
tape, cut with a razor, and burn end). Put
the end of this core up to end of traveler
sheet and carefully sew them together, end
to end with no overlap using a good, heavy
dacron-polyester thread. Feed the core and
traveler sheet back into the mainsheet cover
until it is all smooth. Sew the traveler sheet
into the mainsheet cover for the last 8 to 12
inches. This can be done neatly by stitching
with the weave of the braid so that your
stitches do not show. Make sure the stitches
go through the middle of the new core (trav-
eler). Complete it by turning end of the
mainsheet cover over the traveler sheet.
Jib
Prindle 16 and 18
only:
Tie “S” hook to the aft
half of the jib halyard.
This can be left on
permanently. Attach
“S” hook to the head
of the jib with a 3/16”
shackle. Hook open-
ing must face toward
mast.
Start the zipper
around forestay wire and jib halyard line.
The jib halyard is internal in the luff of jib.
Hoist jib up, closing
sipper as you do until
“S” hook just passes
ring.
Slowly pull the jib
back down at the
tack (forward lower
corner) until the hook
is locked in place.
Note: the opening on
hook should be
between1/4” to 3/8”
for easiest operation.
Unlock the brummel
hooks from each other
and store extra hal-
yard length in one of
the pockets on the
trampoline.
