Default Another thought...

I would make up a short high mod pendant maybe three feet long with an eye on each end. I would then put any eye splice on the end of each sheet. Next ring hitch (luggage tag) the sheets to one end of the pendant. The other end of the pendant will go to the clew, attached with a Tylaska spool shackle.

You will have a clean smooth sheet attachment that easily gybe.

This config will be as strong as the weakest rope if correctly spliced. Consult Brion's field guide for proper splicing in high mod.
