Default News of sailing tragedy off San Francisco? (tethers and attachment methods)

The quick-release shackle has a nice
lanyard on the release pin and it works smoothly. I have never had one of
these ... open accidentally.


maybe *you* haven't, but most of the sailing world has.

snap shackles are thoroughly considered to be no-no's on tethers because they
so often come open when the lanyard gets snagged on something.
