"We put eye splices in the end, and use an 18" 1/8" spectra luggage tag to attach the the spin clew."

What is the luggage tag referenced above. Does the spectra bowline the eyes together and then bowline onto the clew? I picture more of a leader not a tag.


Assuming that both ends of the spin sheet end up at the clew of the spin how are these attached to the spin for a non-tangling but removable solution?

When I first got my boat, I used a short piece of hi-tech line tied in a LARKS HEAD at the clew. Each end of this hi-tech was tied with a SHEET BEND onto the spin sheets. This was a bit lumpy so I taped the knots to improve the profile.
I know there must be a better way.
Does each end of the spin sheet get a spectra tail? These tails are then fastened to the clew?


When I look at this pic, I can't see any knots/line changes. Is that because the knot is on the tramp? Is this knot the reason that the lazy sheet looks short?
