Stus-List Shackle for Genoa Sheets?

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 Starship Enterprise's Captain's Log

Stus-List Shackle for Genoa sheets

John, the 37+ has a baby stay in front of the mast that a metal shackle or a knot sometimes gets caught on. Soft shackles work great. Your 1/2 inch sheet is good for about 10,000#. 1/4 inch dyneema core made into a soft shackle about 12,000# Give or take plenty strong enough. You do need loops i

Heaton Subject: Re: Stus-List Shackle for Genoa Sheets? I don't think a metal shackle ‎on 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 o

Thanks Len, Unfortunately I just purchased two new headsail lines ( 11mm VPC) I thought they would come nicely cut trimmed, sealed, taped, something but they were literally hacked off frayed and I had to waste 6” cut and seal myself lesson learned I really wish I went with one long piece as now

Re: Stus-List Shackle for Genoa sheets

Baby stays are nothing but trouble more adjustments and totatly in the way of everything else some C&C designs dont have them and some older designs have single spreaders and no check stays. Keeps sailing simple and just as good and just as fast like my 35 mkII i dare you to keep with me around th

Re: Stus-List Shackle for Genoa Sheets?

Like others, I use soft shackles. Touche' has double lower shrouds. Bowline knots always hung up on the forward lower shrouds. Soft shackles eliminated the problem. Got them from apsltd. See: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_sb5TfIENvsMU9xOXBVd3F5Slk I just bought another one for attaching

Re: Stus-List Shackle for Genoa Sheets?

this looks good Josh though I fear the Alpine Butterfly knot would catch on my baby stay the same way my continuous genoa sheet (secured to clew with luggage tag knot) does now. I would love to remove the baby stay but I can't find any information on rig stability if I were to do so. Any opinions

I am using the Tylaska #8 J-Locks with a core dependent eye splice. The sheets gets loaded over 4000 pounds but I have not had an issue. The lock will open under load and we have done sail changes in high winds without having to tack or de-power. They may have more appeal for racing where a bowl

Re: Stus-List Shackle for Genoa Sheets?

I was surprised at the loads, and have no idea why there is a difference to the various load calculators and postings. Windburn has ARCO 40s as the primary winches. They are similar to the new offerings with a 6.3:1 second gear ratio and a 3.25" drum diameter. http://www.arco-winches.com/prod

Re: Stus-List Shackle for Genoa Sheets?

That was a poor wording on my part. We have released under load a few times due to overrides or whatever else happens on long races when we get tired. Once in the dark I managed to pull the jib sheet and spin sheet through the turning block. For headsail changes we put a temporary line on a sail
