He is another variation - I have a fixed babystay. My bowlines were always getting hung up. I made a 3 foot strop from 1/4 inch Dyneema, tied a couple loops in the ends, luggage tagged one end to the sail and used a soft shackle on the other. Still had bowlines in the sheets, but they no longer

Soft shackles are a great idea and like Chuck says, a good winter diversion project. What length shackle are you guys using? My instinct would be 8 inches from loop to knot but shorter is better, would 6 inches work? I will use 3/8 inch. Len Mitchell Crazy Legs C 37+ Sent from my mobile

I too use soft shackles.  Getting an eye in each end of sheet will allow you to end for end when wear starts. I use two shackles.  Just thought that way if have a problem can remove the lazy sheet while sail still drawing.  But maybe one would be ok too Bill Walker Cnc 36 On Dec 11, 2016 5:39
