Every once in a great while a bowline will untie with enough flailing about. With the pressure off during a tack and a little flapping, it would sure seem this could let loose easily.RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL

I ran across this technique which intrigues me. http://sailing.about.com/od/equipmentgear/ss/softshacklehowto.htm#step1 Also thinking about the soft shackles as well. Either way, I really hate running forward to clear a bowline off the shrouds during a tack, something will get done this spring. Thanks, Jim ReinardyC&C 30-2 “Firewater”Milwaukee, WI
