The mainsail sheet blocks and foresail sheet blocks on my schooner are attached to each boom by a shackle to a braided line wrapped around the boom several times and tied off. It looks bad, sloppy and very worn. What are some alternatives either hardware or unique lashings/knots that can replace wrapped braided line to more closely go with a traditionally rigged schooner. She is gaffed rigged, deadeyes and all.
