[quote=MillCreek][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)
Second that especially if well off shore. Tape it all
ALWAYS tape up your rings or risk a failure - ymmmvEdited by MN3 on Feb 18, 2022 - 11:37 AM. [/quote][/quote]
