Soft shackle to spring line
Рет қаралды 862
6 жыл бұрынI show how I overcome the lack of a midship cleat by using a soft shackle and continuous loop. The loop is attached to the toe rail and acts as a sacrificial piece since the metal edges are not dressed and could eventually wear through. The soft shackle allows quick attachment to the boat. The alpine butterfly creates an omnidirectional load point in the nylon spring line.

I wish I'd seen this before I bought some midship cleats. However, our slip gets pretty rough, so not sure how well a soft shackle would hold up to all the movement. I might give it a try, as there are times I want to tie off to the toerail and this will work nicely.

Amsteel is incredible stuff. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

This looks like a good setup. I'd be worried about the toe rail chewing on the line passed through it during high winds, but it sounds like you haven't had that be a problem. Are the edges on the holes rounded off?

Edges are not chewed up but they also weren't rounded.
