Ha ha ha, retired but get the drift. Since those attempts I've found a better method for the loops. I thought of using them with a low friction ring as a barber hauler. Add some ability to adjust twist in the Genoa.Don't give up your day job all u get. Practice makes perfect.
Nice. We always have a handful of soft shackles ready. For almost anything. I think we currently have 20 of them on BlueJ in permanent use. Amazing how much weight it saves, IF you remember to take the old Stainless OFF THE BOAT! ;^)I had some time to put together those low friction rings for barbar haulers.
