The bowlines should be tied in opposite directions so the flat side is facing
in against the shroud and doesn't get hung. In other words the port side
bowline should have the flat side facing the starboard side and vice versa.
This reduces the chance of hanging up on a shroud. Jerry.

If your spreaders are in-line (not angled aft), its use is primarily to keep
the non-telephone pole mast from pumping in serious seas or chop. Disconnect it
unless there is usually lots of chop where you race.

The soft shackles are much smaller than a bowline knot. They are also made
of Dyneema which is pretty slippery. I'll send you some pics off list.
