Rigging Boom Triple Block to Traveler...

Rigging Boom Triple Block to Traveler... - 06/29/14 03:10 AM

Hello;
I'm not new to sailing but am new to Hobie, I purchased a Hobie 18 early model, about 1981 and some of the rigging was taken apart. I cannot figure out how to rig from the triple block to the traveler. I attempted it but as the mainsail moves from port to starboard side, the traveler is hitting the "tieoff" on the back of the crossbar. Is there a diagram on how this is hooked up?

have a look at the bottom of page 15, it is supposed to look like that.

You are the "real deal", my hobie is a little older than the one depicted in the manual but I think all the hardware is relatively the same, I'm sure I can follow this layout.
Thanks a million - and for the quick reply.
Cheers;
