After buying a sheet and halyard kit from Cajun Ropes that came with
loose ends, I have attached them with halyard knots and never had a hang
up on shrouds or baby stays. The only thing that we get hung up on
occasion is the forward hatch. I have found the halyard knot to be much
better than bowlines anduse them for the main outhaul and reefing line
as well. On our old Redwing 35, we had a continuous jib sheet with a
luggage tag knot. Both boats have separate spinnaker sheets so all we
have to do is collect them up and tie them up on the bow pulpit.

Shackles flying across the deck in tack or having the shackle scar
your dodger are not good things.
I learned to do an eye splice and went from knots to eyes and a single
soft shackle. Slick looking and no more having the sheets hang up on
the baby stay either.

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
