Set 7000 lb breaking eye splice both ends 2 soft shackles. By all

tacking. Purchased from Defender who is next town over from me

Really like the soft shackles. They don't hang up on the shrouds like a
bowline knot.
The VPC has decent feel once it breaks in. It is

FWIW, I have a set of genoa sheets made from 3/8" red MaxiBraid. which I got
for racing. I spliced luggage tags into one end and use a soft schackle to

My last set were 7/16” but I went back up to ½” Sta Set last year to try to

John,
Strength wise, you could even get by using 3/8”, but it may not grip in self
tailing winches and would seem small and hard to grip. 7/16” is what I use on

adequate, but I like the larger diameter for hand tailing (we don’t have self
tailing winches).
