Best halyard attachment to mainsail?

[svaletheia]

That was immensely constructive and informative, thank you Brion.

My splicing wand from your rigging shop arrived yesterday - I'll be popping those eye splices in soon. And I've just done a couple of my first Amsteel-based soft shackles, so I'm quite looking forward to putting your advice to work.

Thanks again!
