Before I store my P16 mast up for the season I want to rig it with dual trap lines. I have four
individual lines for the 16. my plan is to hang the rear lines by a small twist shackle on the eye
of the front lines. All four lines won't fit on the shackle on the masthorn. Anyone with a better
idea? Thanks.

Buy a continuos double trap from Murrays - I had the same on my H16 and it works great, one eye at the shackle and two coated trap wires

Put a shackle on each side of the main shackle and hang the 2 wires from each shackle

Tried several methods and decided on small longish twist shackles on the main shackle for the extra
trap wires. Seemed to be the cleanest way to go without buying new lines. Boat is mast up now so it will stay that way for the summer. Thanks for the ideas.
