Samo, you have to build a traveler, preferably out of cable. You should run it underneath the tramp and bring your connection points up and thru the tramp by installing some small grommets. Attach some snatch blocks and use your cleats on the side for cleating. I run 2 dif' jibs so I need my traveler to move for and aft to maintain correct sheeting angles. You can attach a cable at the front cross bar and anchor it about half way back using cable clamps to the tramp cable. Then you can run the cable across. This allows fine tuning of your jib front to back and side to side. The angle of tension is important at the clew and this is the only way to properly achieve it. Look at how a Hobie 14 turbo is set up and you'll get it. happy sailing.

Hi Steve,
I have the jib kit and am interested in the mods both you and Geoff Victor have done to your waves, you both have awesome videos!
Can you please post a few close-up pictures of your jib rigging, particularly the traveller?
Do you have a custom jib and if so, did you source it from somewhere in Canada? I reason that I can shorten the tack on my stock jib and then use wires similar to Geoff's. If you have a custom jib I'd be very interested to know if there's a Canadian supplier/manufacturer for it.
Lastly, I'd be very interested to know where you got the 'sock' for the bottom of your mast. After watching your video this summer, I used a temporary cover made from poly and a couple straps. OMG what a difference it made, no more fouled sheets!! Please let me know if there's a supplier out there who sells these. If I don't find one I'm going to a sewing place to get one made before next season.
Thanks again for all of the information you've posted to-date!
