[C320-list] Attaching jib sheets

[warren updike]

Cow hitch seems like the way to go short of new continuous line. Maybe I'll
take the sheets home and splice an eye in one end as suggested.  I like to
make projects more challenging if I can.  Thanks, Karl

I use a cow hitch. Doesn't look very secure, but has yet to slip, even with
new line.
