We just got an asymettrical for our boat, and I'm trying to figure out how best to attach the sheets. On our old boat we simply made a loop in the middle of a single, really long sheet, passed it through the clew, and ran the two ends through it (I saw a reference in a sailnet article that called this a "Cow Hitch"). It worked fine on the old boat, but I know that the sail is now bigger, and the loads now potentially a lot higher, and would like to know if I can get away with this again. The sheet can be attached "permanently" for our purposes, and if I don't have to pay for splices, I'd prefer not to.
Thanks for any input,
Cory
