Francis, I will give you that is simple, but with two sheets each attached
by soft shackle you can remove lazy sheet and attach to a different sail prior
to hoist if need be. Bill Walker

If you're looking for the simplest / lightest/ most snagfree (And coolest in my
book) way to attach your jib sheetsto your jib forget about the soft shackle /
2 lines jib sheet withbig bowline knots or splices to snag the spinnaker pole
car / track/ etc on its way across on a tack.
My rigger just showed me this trick:
1) You just have one continuous linewith a whip in the middle
2) You make a loop at the whip and passit through the eye on the sail's clew
3) You put both ends of the line throughthe loop on the backside... Done.
Most of should know this knot: It'scalled a luggage tag knot.
That my friends is the simplest / sleekestway to go. You combine that with a
timed late release of the lazysheet, It doesn't snag anymore, even with the 150
in way too much wind:-)
