There is an excellent video by Colligo Marine showing how to make one at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH66tGsWv_Y
I've made a couple, they are really easy to make - the only difficult
part is tying the knot. I haven't really stressed them yet, the pair
I've got in use are holding pulleys at the mast for the spin car up/down
haul - haven't really loaded them.

OK guys, I am exiting the stone age here and reading about "soft shackles" as I
am closing in being able to actually launch.
Are these attached to the ends of the sheets? So no Ronstan or other Wichard
hard stainless bits any more?
I looked on line and got part of the picture, but not all of it to envision how
this all hangs together, so can someone send me a link?

Dennis,
Your setup sounds smart and simple. Do the sheets include a plastic doughnut
near the shackle to keep it from getting pulled thru the pole jaws?
Twings to pull the guy to the widest beam, maybe?

Joel,
I ordered the spin sheets from Layline.com. They have a machine that does it.
You'll need fairly accurate measurement so the sheet wraps on the winch in the
correct spot.
I really like the sheets. The 1/4 inch Dyneema is very strong and light. The
StaSet is easy on the hands.
We do end for end gybes so the sheets are also the guys.

I also used the tylaska shackles ( or something close) on the original spin
sheets and jib sheets. I didn't realize the cost. I'll take better care of them
now!
Dennis, can you enlighten me how you stuff the dyneema into the sta-set?

I have lost too many ronstan snap shackles when things have got wild and the
sheet shook free of the spinnaker

Hey guys,
Making up new spinnaker sheets.
Are you guys using snapschackles, Tylaska trigger release, or dyneema loops?
