Tami,
I think another way to look at it is if the loads are less than 50% of the line strength then barring other concerns (like the bulk of a knot) then there is no reason why you couldn't use a knot. With all the high tech lines, the chances of anyone exceeding the breaking strength is unlikely. It isn't "high tech" but the strength of 5/16 staset is 3500. I don't know exactly what the loads are on a jib on a F27, but doubt it exceeds 1000lbs. Even 7/64 amsteel has a 1200lb breaking strength. So outside of downhaul, stays then I think you are fine- even on a tri.
