Bend the traveller to shape and trial fit into the holes. Then dip the ends into CA and insert. Ed Gibbons and BobG 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly how I would do it also. Just be careful to use only a tiny bit of CA so that you don't get glue squeezing out onto the deck. Have a small cloth on hand with a dab of acetone on it so you can quickly and carefully wipe off any excess CA. Ed Gibbons 1 Quote Bob Garcia "Measure once, cuss twice!"

Ed Gibbons Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share #33 Posted September 14, 2021 Not quite done. Need to clean up some of the lines. Used the thin wire to attach the blocks. Also used the thin wire on the aft end of the boom and gaff. The thin black thread kept coming off during the rigging. It’s been an interesting experience. I found the intricate process of attaching the blocks and running the line through challenging. After I’m finished I’ll post a few more pictures and summarize what I learned.
