Can anyone tell me or help me figure out where the shockcord from the trap rigging goes after it passes through the small blocks. Basically where it Ties off at. I have not seen any pictures that really show where these go.

If anyone has any prindle 18 rigging pics for this part that would be great. Also I think I have the jib rigging all worked out but still would love any pictures or advice if anyone has any.

I'm not familiar with that boat - but usually the shock-cord goes to the trapeze on the opposite side and it works for both of them.

The prindle 18 assembly manual is online at

This should help.

Tie a trapeze ring (dog bone) to each of the 3' lines (should have 4). Thread the line through the thimble at the end of the trapeze wire. Thread one of the plastic height adjusters onto the line, wrapping the line aroud it at least twice, this allows height adjustment for the trapeze. Tie the tail of the line to the shock cord with a bowline, then run the shock cord through the block, then through the grommet in the tramp so it leads underneath the tramp so you can pull it up through the other side and the repeat.
Hope this helps.
