10 second Soft Shackles !!

Soft shackles are fast becoming more popular than traditional metal shackles making tying the a skill that every sailor should know. If you have put off learning how to make them due to the complicated knots and splices which are often required to create them, then this is the video for you.

The team at Bottom Up Boats have created the ultimate soft shackle video, demonstrating three soft shackles and four ways to secure them using the simplest of sailing knots that most sailors already know how to tie.

With in minutes you will be able to create hundreds of soft shackles in seconds like we do in the video. While we still prefer to make the version which do require some simple splicing due to the extra strength they give, you can not go past this video to learn how to make them in seconds. We will tech you how to turn a meter of any rope into a shackle that has 100's of use case in less than 10 second.

This is the new must have skill for anyone who sails, allowing you to create spare parts on the fly.

Once you have mastered the soft shackles in this video we do recommend you learn the upgraded version that require some splicing and advance knot tying skills. While is is more complicated than the simple options you now know it is well worth learn all the varieties, it is easier than you think !!!
