I second Jeff Laman's comments; I have used soft shackles for several years
without issue; my sheets used to hang up all of the time prior to switching to
the soft shackles...and although I was originally skeptical of them, I am a
believer now!

#yiv1728409670 P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;}Dave,I am curious how your soft
shackle is installed and why that hasn't solved your problem. After attaching
sheets with a soft shackle a couple years ago, I have not had a single
hangup.Jeff Laman81C&C34HarmonyLudington, MI

Subject: Stus-List Genoa sheets catch on shrouds What have people found to be
the best way to keep the genoa sheet attachment from catching on the shrouds
during a tack? I use a dyneema soft shackle to attach the sheets to the clew,
but that has not solved the problem over knots. Thanks- Dave
