You'll have to post some photos of what you've got.

1) A picture of the blocks of the boom (if they're fixed to the boom or a picture of the mainsheet blocks together.

2) A picture of the traveller car or that area in general.

When I first put my mossie on the water, I used the tail of my mainsheet as the line to adjust the traveller, but found in the heat of the moment, it was harder to find the place to grab to sheet off/on the traveller. So, that said, I used a different colour line for the traveller and tied it to the end of the mainsheet.

The traveller should/could have a cleat either attached to it or just in front of the rear beam, on the centre beam. We'll say for the sake of the exercise that your using the mainsheet tail as the traveller line, thread the tail through the traveller car from front to back, and should tie off on the back surface on the rear beam (could be a saddle mounted there, I go for a walk and take a photo of my boss's sons wreck for reference.
