What are people using that they think work well? I can't find the 'right' solution for me. I've persisted with two solutions but but neither are perfect:


> Apple-cores: Have to buy heaps of them for multiple sails - $$. Pain to swap between 2 and sometimes 3 outhaul grommets on a sail. When running the sail bagged out, the line that runs up to the cleats often snags on the apple-core, particularly after a water start.

> D Shackles: Cheap and easily switchable between sails and grommets. However, hard on the outhaul rope (sharp bend around the shackle), and don't allow a nice, smooth application of outhaul.

There must be something better out there? What are people using and would recommend? Ideally it must be not cost-prohibitive, bulletproof, easy on the outhaul rope, allow smooth application, not get snagged or messed up while being tossed around in the water, easily switchable between different grommet positions on a sail.
