This has got to be the way to do it for roller jibs or other headsails you don't need to detach for quick sheet changes. With the trick I've been trying to dredge out of my memory, it is very clean. http://home.maine.rr.com/rlma/Strider0603.htm#sheet The clump of rope (which will be smaller with the actual sheets) could still give you a good rap on the noggin but it actually pads the hardware in the corner of the sail. Knots right at the clew should also be less painful than bowline knots which can pick up some extra flick speed due to the slack. Is it my imagination or is the second sheet captured only by a loop of the first, and thus could pull it apart? I'm sure there's a way of avoiding this ... but it illudes me right now. |
