Your Prindle originally came with a 7/16" dacron main sheet. If that is what you still have, then a smaller diameter traveler line would be a good idea, and was offered as an option by most dealers.
Ten feet of 5/16" line will allow for a stopper knot at one end and a double figure eight, or knot of your preference, with the main sheet to keep them as one line.
This gives you a bit more line on the deck, so you should run a bungee from the dolphin striker post under the tramp to the grommet in the center of your tramp with a loop in the bungee that stays on the top of the tramp. While you are rigging and before you tie the two lines together, run the mainsheet through the loop in the end of the bungee and then tie the mainsheet to the traveler. The bungee will keep the bulk of the mainsheet on the tramp so that it won't slide off the deck into the water as often.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by klozhald on Aug 28, 2013 - 03:51 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
