This is what sailor's videos should be about. Yes, i love the women who sail. Guys sharing their knowledge in how to do things...it is so valuable and helps newer sailors come up to speed. I believe in the sailing for less money philosophy also. Thanks James for sharing and taking the time.

This is the best way of making a soft shackle that I’ve seen! No complicated button knot tying! Thank you😊

Fkn A, this is prolly one of the better sailing videos I've watched so far. I learned more in 10 minutes then I have in hours of watching sandy beaches and palm trees like every other channel. Zingaro is one of a very short list of channels I watch. Thanks again for the knowledge.

Thanks man for the vid. No matter how many times I splice dyneema, I still come back here to re-watch your tutorial over and over again. You'd think I'd have learned by now, but it never hurts to watch it all over again. L8.

I use Dyneema as my Hammock suspension. I also work at a Tent rental company and I made a bunch of soft shackles to replace carabiniers that were damaged or lost for our anchor lines. Best stuff ever!!

That was an excellent tutorial James , you've done that a few times before , obviously . Unrelated to that but also useful is a knot which is very quick and easy to make a mid line loop that can be loaded in any direction , you may know this but some of your readers may knot ( see what I did there ) , it's called the Alpine Butterfly knot , has a multitude of uses and very easy to learn .

Great video. Never saw it better condensed or even more comprehensible. Thanks a lot. (We usually made a lotta stuff with it, from shackles to backstays, from lemon nets to leesails to quick repairs of broken terminals, but I always loved the lifelines - way easier to lean on for days.)

Thanks. Didn't know how to make a soft shackle. I need to get to work. I have a few to make. Ive use the line for both standing and running rigging - didn't make them as well as you, but never had a failure. made one for a 5" backstay extension. Not enough room for proper burry so used dynema thread to lock stitch. 5 years, still working perfectly.

James, I've got to tell you that lately I've been worried about you two. I've come away from a lot of your videos thinking," these two are going to get themselves killed." This video was really good! And, not only was it very well done and informative, it shows me that you're not as clueless as you have seemed over the last couple of months. Please don't take that as an insult, because I've been pulling for you all along. (and envy your lifestyle!) I was just really worried there for a while. Keep up the good work! Hi to Kimmy~!

Yeah I get that a lot. I don't take it personally, it's just how I come across sometimes. I think you'll see a nice transformation in the upcoming videos, I'm not as nonchalant after getting into trouble a few times. Thanks John, glad you liked the vid.

This worked perfectly also when sailing! Being a German native speaker, I have been delighted to see your exact demonstration of howto, and your explanations were very clear and very easy to understand! Thank you once more for your efforts!!! Also the soft shackles are numerous on my 23 ft Friendship now...

Thankyou, I tried watching a view other videos to get the confidence to buy the fids and some rope, didnt feel confident enough till I watched yours. Went with Sampson fids from candian marine place. With the sampson fids they have no internal hook but came with a pusher stick that worked well, once I figured out what it was for. Made a 3/8 soft shackle in about 20mins. Now I just need some smaller dyneema.
