The answer on jib sheets

You wouldn't want to pull on an eye splice that way. It would be very prone to coming apart. Roger, I remember a discussion like this in a book somewhere and the solution they found was to use a single line with the jib cringle made fast in the middle. After some looking on the Internet I found this article: http://www.angelfire.com/de2/WIT/TJhalsheet.html There is a couple of ideas there. I think that if you want no knot then you have to come up with a way to splice an eye onto the clew in the middle of the continuous sheet. Gary |
