Chuck,
I use doughnuts for moderate to heavy breeze. I slip them on the luggage eye
before I put on the snap shackle. With the luggage eye, it's no big deal to
remove them for light air.
I also have a very light spin sheet. Essentially an extremely small line with
a plastic snap shackle. I put a loop of the line through the spin clew ring
then hook the snap shackle through the loop.
I do use twings. They clip to the toerail at max beam. I use the following:
Harken 2646 single block with cam cleat and becket HAR2646
Harken 1584 snap shackle HAR1584
Lewmar LEW29900240 tweeker block
A bit pricey now but well worth it in my opinion.
Dennis C.
