[quote=carbonc][quote] million times easier to snag on a line, sail, shorts, shirt, pdf, etc. and bend and foul[/quote]
Appreciate the feedback and concern. I’m only using them for a couple commonly disconnected points. On my 5.5 that’s the bridal foil to hull connections, the forestay to foil connection, one of the shrouds, and the main rudder pintles (between tiller cheek castings and gudgeons). All of those are places well out of the way for contact or line fouling (bridle due to location, shroud due to chain plate covers, and rudders due to being up and under the tiller arm.
Agreed you wouldn’t want these uncovered near crew locations (aboard or in a capsize and righting)[/quote]
