I talked with the
rigging guys and explained that we have a roller
furler. He said to go with standard headboard
shackle since there is no way to "quickly" bring down a roller
furling sail like you would with a standard
jib. That saved me some money too, since i am willing to use a
shackle key to undo the
furler shackle if i need to switch to a different sail for any reason.
