I use soft shackle on my jib sheets, and just added a couple of turns of rigging tape to stop it opening up. Not that it ever would but..
It’s a great setup.

I bought the ready made one and it went on easily, no hanging on the shrouds, (my pet peeve,) either! Richard s/v Bushmark 4; 1985 C&C 37 CB; Ohio River, Mile 601 ( on the hard); Richard N.

Hi Dennis Your soft shackle sheet connection looks very interesting. I wonder if a flogging sail during a messy tack might result in a soft shackle releasing. Any thoughts?
