Hi Does anyone use Dyneema to secure a head sail to the base of the fuller and what knot do you use.
I have a problem with the shackle wearing the alloy so try a bit of 4mm dyneema.
Cheers Darmah

No problems using Dyneema. I would be using a Dyneema soft shackle, that way it is easy to release. Knots in Dyneema can be very hard to undo.

Ok just googled soft shackles i reckon that may take a bit of practice that knot looks tricky.

thanks Jode5
