I like the idea, but if, as someone said, a bowline could be shaken off, this soft shackle could even easier.
I use the luggage tag knot and it works well. I managed to untie it without major effort (though, using an awl), when I replaced my jib a couple of seasons ago.

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
