So with the soft Shackle ( which I use for tying off to the mid toerail and works amazing even in Florence! ) what size line ? (Dyneema?) Is best for the head sail on a 37, and are you using a splice on the sheet? If tying a knot for soft shackle why Knot just tie sheet to clew ? Any one have any pics of the softees in action on the genny sheets?
Thanks !

I don't think a metal shackle on the jib clew is a good idea. Think about how much damage that can do when the sail is flogging, damage to the boat or the crew. A soft shackle would work though.

Listers, Does anyone use a shackle for their genoa sheets instead of a knot? If so, how big? What type? What kind of breaking strength? All the best, Edd Edd M.
