Stus-List Genoa sheets catch on shrouds

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 S/V Aries 1990 C 34+ New London, CT

Stus-List Re: Genoa sheets catch on shrouds

Dave, I am curious how your soft shackle is installed and why that hasn't solved your problem. After attaching sheets with a soft shackle a couple years ago, I have not had a single hangup. Jeff Laman 81C Harmony Ludington, MI From: David Knecht via CnC-List

Stus-List Re: Genoa sheets catch on shrouds

I second Jeff Laman's comments; I have used soft shackles for several years without issue; my sheets used to hang up all of the time prior to switching to the soft shackles...and although I was originally skeptical of them, I am a believer now! Richard s/v Bushmark4: 1985 C 37, CB; Ohio

I have a Primetimepump.com which is well built, mostly SS. Only problem I had with it was an impeller explosion, which they had a repair kit for. For smaller units, I have a dometic LC-2CP that seems to work well. I replaced the original once on a trip, I thought the bearings were shot by the

I went with doing eye splices on the sheets and using  soft shackle.  No more hang ups on the rigging or baby stay since.Tom BuscagliaS/V Alera 1990 C 37+/40Vashon WAP 206.463.9200C 305.409.3660On Jun 16, 2022, at 10:32 AM, David Knecht via CnC-List wrote:What have people found to be the best

Stus-List Re: Genoa sheets catch on shrouds

Dave, I think the size of the soft shackle (if you’re just using one) may be part of the issue. Soft shackles are made from high modulus fibers, usually either Dyneema or Spectra (both UHMWPE) or some generic version of the same material. All of which are far stronger than your sheets thus

I used to use a bowline to tie the sheets and then switched to eye splices with the soft shackle, but the problem persists. Dave S/V Aries 1990 C 34+ New London, CT > On Jun 16, 2022, at 2:13 PM, rjcasciato--- via CnC-List > wrote: > > Dave: Are you using an eye splice in the end of the

Stus-List Re: Genoa sheets catch on shrouds

Protective tubes wouldn't matter. I use one soft shackle, 1/4" that attaches both sheets. If 2 shackles are used, same size since both sheets never pull at same time. The stopper knot on shackle has to be on outside, away from shrouds. No problems with 135 or 155. Get Outlook for

Stus-List Re: Genoa sheets catch on shrouds

The sheets have loops spliced into the ends and the soft shackle just goes through the two loops and attaches to itself. I have no problem with my 100% genoa, but my 145 hangs up often. Do you have protective tubes around your shrouds or bare rod? Dave S/V Aries 1990 C 34+ New London, CT

Stus-List Re: Genoa sheets catch on shrouds

Dave: Are you using an eye splice in the end of the sheet or are you using a bowline know to make that loop? I agree with Jeff, I've been making my own soft shackles for over 5 years and there has not been one snag on anything. You mention "a problem over knots" ? Ron C. From:

Stus-List Re: Genoa sheets catch on shrouds

Point of correction I think. If each sheet is attached with its own shackle, no size reduction. The force is same because only one sheet pulls at a time. Get Outlook for Android From: Novabraid via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2022

Thanks for the AC pump responses. It made me research further and I may be able to improve my installation and fix my problem. In 2014, I mounted the pump that came with the 16000 Webastco vertically with the pump under the motor and it was a pain to prime but worked until this year. March
