How trustworty do y'all find the cow hitch for attaching the short length of line with the clew blocks to the jib clew?


The "cow hitch" aka "ring hitch" works quite well for attaching sheets to the jib clew. I might not trust it in slick material like spectra or dyneema, but I've never seen it come loose in double-braid polyester line. I use it regularly for single-purchase jib sheets.
