I don't think a metal shackle âon the jib clew is a good idea. Think about how much damage that can do when the sail is flogging, damage to the boat or the crew. A soft shackle would work though. Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone on the Bell network.
Listers,
Does anyone use a shackle for their genoa sheets instead of a knot? If so, how big? What type? What kind of breaking strength? All the best, Edd Edd M. Schillay Starship Enterprise C&C 37+ | Sail No: NCC-1701-B City Island, NY |
