Thanks, Josh.  The photo shows a soft shackle tied to a genny sheet with a 
bowline (or what appears to be a bowline).  How does this configuration solve 
the problem of the bowline getting hung up on stays when tacking a 150 genny?

The alpine butterfly is the single best improvement for me.

What have people found to be the best way to keep the genoa sheet attachment 
from catching on the shrouds during a tack?  I use a dyneema soft shackle to 
attach the sheets to the clew, but that has not solved the problem over knots.  
Thanks- Dave
