Default Probably fine

Hi,
First, some soft shackles are easier to open and close than others, but so far none can be easily done one-handed. Generous-sized bronze hanks (that have never been on wire), paired with low-stretch halyards, have caused only mild chafe, in prolonged storms, on boats I have seen.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
