Ron, I've never heard of that happening. The only way mine are coming off is with a knife.

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 Reinardy C&C 30-2 “Firewater” Milwaukee, WI
