Spinnaker Sheets - Sadler 32

The other option is use a "soft" shackle. I was talking to one of the guys on the Harken stand at the SBS, the other week. he said they use a soft shackle, easey to buy £10, much cheaper to make (£1.50). I plan to try them on my X-302. Spinnaker is probabley the same size as your Saddler.

I can understand OleWill taking this line on his small boat but how do you intend to trip the spinny on a downhall if you are tied on with soft shackles. I would have thought there was way too much load.

I'm curious because we lost another cheepo snap shackle at the weekend and I dont fancy coughing up £70 for the proper Wichard or similar.
