WOA!

First off you need THREE brummel tucks or the sheet can pull free on one side while pulling locked on the other. Four is not needed.

Second, a RING HITCH without seizings works fine, and the seizing are probably your problem...

Third, for snag free sheeting try either large OD shroud rollers and/or splicing sheets directly onto the sail.

We splice sheets directly onto the sail for all our cruising clients (when new sheets go on) as most never change headsails, and if you do a second set of sheets is just not that expensive considering how much it makes sailing easier.
