1.9   Chickenline system (optional)

1.  Remove both endcaps from the rear crossbar.

2.  Instal the 16mm blocks on both endcaps.

3.  Knot one end of the (port) ckickenline to the 

shockcord with two bowlines.

4.  Knot the other end of the chickenline to the 

shackle with a bowline and install the shackle to 

the outside hole at the upper gudgeon on port 

side.

5.  Feed the shockcord (where the port chickenline 

is tied to) through the hole in the port endcap.

6.  Pull the shockcord to the other side with a long 

thin rod. Take a close look at the drawing, the 

line/shockcord is crossing the crossbar diagonal.

7.  Feed the shockcord through the 16mm block 

from top to bottom. 

8.  Pull the shockcord to the other side and feed it 

through the 16mm block 

from bottom to top.

9.  Tie the starboard line with a bowline to the 

shackle and install the shackle to the outside 

hole at the upper gudgeon on starboard side.

10. Finally pull the shockcord diagonal to the 

starboard side (at this point there is a lot of 

tension on the shockcord) and knot it to the 

starboard line with two bowlines, make sure you 

feed the line through the endcap.
