[C320-list] Attaching jib sheets

[annie at sydneyprivatesailing.com.au]

Both the boats I race on in Sydney have shackles spliced onto the jib sheets. They seem to be special shackles for this purpose & have a piece of velcro that wraps around them so they can't accidentally come undone. However, suspect these shackles are expensive.

Subject: [C320-list] Attaching jib sheets

How are people attaching jib sheets to the jib?  I've been using a bowline;
but, don't like it as it tends to catch on the shrouds on a tack.  I'm
thinking about an anchor bend (fisherman's bend) and seizing the bitter end
to the working part.  Any better ideas?
