Bozo,
Consider using a 10 foot section of smaller diameter line tied to the mainsheet for the main traveler. It will feed better through the P18 cleats and fairlead. If your mainsheet is 7/16" use 5/16" for the traveler part. P18s were actually sold this way from most dealers. You can splice the ends together or use a water knot or double sheet bend. I use the latter.
