Sorry John, it never occurred to me to take good photos of the soft shackles in action. I have a photo that shows them on a delivery jib in May, but none with the racing sails.
I ended up using the same two shackles for all of my headsails across the wind range - had no problems with them in 20+ kts on a #3 or <5 kts on the light #1. https://photos.app.goo.gl/x4UBmqaQN6WxSC3g9 Best, Tom -- Snow Goose 35-1 City Island, NY ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: John Conklin <jconk...@hotmail.com> To: "cnc-list@cnc-list.com" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: Bcc: Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2018 21:25:20 +0000 Subject: Re: Stus-List Shackle for Genoa Sheets? So with the soft Shackle ( which I use for tying off to the mid toerail and works amazing even in Florence! ) what size line ? (Dyneema?) Is best for the head sail on a 37, and are you using a splice on the sheet? If tying a knot for soft shackle why Knot just tie sheet to clew ? Any one have any pics of the softees in action on the genny sheets? Thanks ! John C S/V Halcyon Oriental NC
