I agree with Joel....they are easy to make using the L-36 website.....just Google soft shackle and you'll see lots of pictures and ideas.....
We use them on Impromptu, a C&C 38MKIIC for all genoa sizes....I'd never go back to knots. I think I just saw an article on Soft Shackles on the Sailing World web site this week?????? I'll see if I can find it again.

However, they can be made relatively easily from single braid line (IIRC) using videos and instructions from the web. I came across several of the above as I searched the web for splicing an eye loop in double braid line. Of course you may not 'get it' on the first or second attempt but all you have lost is a bit of line and some time. It took me 2 total failures before I 'got it', trying to splice and eye in a double braid where the inner core provided all the strength (Class II splice). Right now I am 3 for 5. You might need a set of fids and a serious knife/scissors, etc., but if you can't get out and sail anyway because of the weather, doing a little 'nautical weaving' indoors can be a nice diversion!

If so what brand and any problems in operation like catching on shrouds.
