What do you think of the buntline hitch for attaching halyard shackles in VPC and Sta-Set X?
I'm not afraid of splicing, but the idea of a compact knot is appealing as it doesn't thicken the line for the last foot or so and it allows for easy end-to-ending of the halyard.
If it retains about 80% of the strentgh it seems like a pretty good option, or am I missing something?
Thanks!
