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: Jeffrey A.

After attaching sheets with a soft shackle a couple years ago, I have not had a single hangup.

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&C 34+ New London, CT
