![]() If using a strap a snapshackle is probably safer - although if you can keep the hook 'tucked under the starp' as per 89208's second pic it may stay in place. The latter seemed to come into vouge when using the velcro straps which also sometimes limit sail/load alignment. from a purchase block directly to the clew as in 89208's second pic and as per Rooster website) seems even more precarious, particularly if the sail flogs on a very loos outhaul setting without sheet or vang tension. Using the hook in place of a snap-shackle (i.e. (again because leverage on the hook can result in a disconnect)Īttachment of shock-cord return rubber (from clew or hook back to the boom cleat or other point forward) can also create leverage and unwanted release because it limits free rotation and alignment of load. Not sure but when you add a micro block it seems best to use a small shackle rather than forcing the block into the hook 'circle' thru which it is tied to the boom. Harken hooks seem to work OK if the hook is tied to the boom with line which allows the hook to rotate freely (and hold alignment). `Pop-n-Jack´'s way to fix the outhaul-grommet to the outhaul-control-line is "bulletproof", too. For the newer Hyde-sail (with the grommets that have more breadth) I prefer the way `Pop-n-Jack´ advises: I use a suitable shackle, that usually is used to fix a jibe to its haleyard at a bigger sailingboat. That, my opinion is, is to expensive for the LooserLu. So, I think `computeroman2´ is correct and "George of WestCoast", too.īecause I use the old Haarstick for practice and therefore the harken-clew-hook (<- rigged like "Dorsal" do it) and for races a newer Hyde-sail, I would need 2 Harken-hooks. A "rebending" of the hook is nearly impossible, because the stainless-steel quality of this hook is really hard. ![]() I took a big hammer and tightened the hook, but till then, unfortunaltely I couldn't use that hook for my newer sails. At that sail, the sailmaker used very flat stainless-steel-grommets and the hook wasn't be tight enough, because the grommets at the Laser-sails of today have more breadth. I used this hook for my older Haaarstick-Laser-Sail (built in the end of the 90ties). I had a lot of problems with the Harken-hook, too. There are pic's how to rigg the outhaul-hook "bulletproof".
