[quote=MN3]I have used those for years - yes they are easier to get on
they are also a million times easier to snag on a line, sail, shorts, shirt, pdf, etc. and bend and foul
Seen them snag on crew shorts, get fouled and bent, then fail
I have been on a few boats where the rig falls over due to a failed ring (not specifically the kind we are talking about but any kind can snag)
ALWAYS tape up your rings or risk a failure - ymmmv<!-- editby --><em>Edited by MN3 on Feb 18, 2022 - 11:37 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
