[quote=MN3]i currently use a hook on top and a snap shackle on the traveler. I do have a 8 inch pigtail to lower the blocks to reduce windage and to reduce mainsheet.
a word of caution, those s-hooks can bend. be sure to get a big one. I used a small one for years on my Hobie's without problem but when i upgraded to a bigger boat and 8 to 1 blocks... it bent like butter.
PS the snap shackle is not in this pic as my gf removed the ring-ding from it last week (not supposed to do that) and it came apart, i found all the parts but haven't had a chance to re-assemble it.
