On a jib, the sheet is connected to the clew on a mainsail, the sheet is connected to the boom (if present) near the clew. Todays boltropes and luff tapes are stronger than conventional slugs and with the new materials, friction is not a factor. Also The leash pulls the inner core towards the loop end so you can undo the shackle.obviously you have to take the load off before you undo it, it's not like say a piston shackle you would have on a spinnaker brace ,you would need to fire under load.

Powerful 14:1 internal/external system suitable for 'bolt-roped' or loose footed sails.
With some very simple tools and a bit of dyneema you can make these things, ( imagine if you were on a cruising yacht in the middle of nowhere and you needed some shackles. like a slip knot ( if you watch the video you will see how the cores bind up), benefits are you can have different lengths, they are soft so they won't damage your boat or people when say the jib clew is flogging around (if you have ever been on the receiving end of a big shackle going ape shyt on the clew of a flogging jib you will know what I mean), they will not corrode, very very light, easy to use you don't need a spanner or shackle key to do up or undo. Correct the tighter it pulls the more it locks together.
