The knot is very small compared to any knot you are using to tie on a
sheet, plus you have two knots. Buy some dyneema and give it a try I bought
some appropriate sized knitting needle at Wal-Mart and cut off the ends for
fids. Works great. You won't to backThat said, it is very hard to splice an
eye in a double braid sheet that has been put under tension, but can be done,

Soft shackle
I agree with Joel…………they are easy to makeusing the L-36 website………..just
Google soft shackle and you’ll see lots ofpictures and ideas……….. We use them
on Impromptu, a C&C38MKIIC for all genoa sizes……….I’d never go back to knots.
I think I just sawan article on Soft Shackles on the Sailing World web site
this week?????? I’llsee if I can find it again. Ron CasciatoImpromptu C&C

on aboat. However, they can be made relatively easily from single braid line
(IIRC)using videos and instructions from the web. I came across several of the
above as Isearched the web for splicing an eye loop in double braid line. Of
course youmay not 'get it' on the first or second attempt but all you have lost
is a bitof line and some time. It took me 2 total failures before I 'got
it',trying to splice and eye in a double braid where the inner core providedall
the strength (Class II splice). Right now I am 3 for 5.You might need a set of
fids and aserious knife/scissors, etc., but if you can't get out and sail
anyway becauseof the weather, doing a little 'nautical weaving' indoors can be
a nicediversion! Charlie NelsonWater Phantom1995 C&C 36 XL/kcbGreenville,
