S Hook Question

[altair]

The S hook seems to cause a crease in my sail. Is it ok to use a non streachable piece of line instead of the S hook.

I would guess you can accomplish the same results by loosening your outhauls a tad. I would go with the S hook because line will get crunched & abraded by the eye bolts.

Yes, the class rules allow you to do that.

Is the intent ot leave the "S" hook open?, or to squeeze it closed?

 

[Al Court]

I always squeeze mine.
