Marek, Properly made a soft shackle will only get tighter by flogging.
Honestly, I have used for several years and no issues, yet easy to remove and
do not hang up on baby stay. Certainly will not let go even easier than bowline
in my experience. Everyone does what they like and thats ok.Bill Walker

I like the idea, but if, as someone said, a bowline could be shaken off, this
soft shackle could even easier. I use the luggage tag knot and it works well. I
managed to untie it without major effort (though, using an awl), when I
replaced my jib a couple of seasons ago. MarekC270, “Legato”Ottawa, ON From:

biggest issue with the luggage tag knot is the difficulty of getting them off.
I ran across this technique which intrigues me.

thinking about the soft shackles as well. Either way, I really hate running
forward to clear a bowline off the shrouds during a tack, something will get
done this spring. Thanks, Jim ReinardyC&C 30-2 “Firewater”Milwaukee, WI _______________________________________________
