Default Halyard Loop design? Any hope?

I worked on my photobucket today. Added some nice shots of cruising. I also added a bunch of captions. While doing this, I came to realize I had almost forgot about the "end of halyard loop" I was working on before I left Mexico.
I would like some fellow Spartalkiens to critique the halyard loop. It worked well until it didn't. it is a about half way thru the slide show.The knot slipped out of the loop. And the sail came down. It is not the same knot as is on the softies. I was able to do a quick lash with some small stuff, and it never failed...... Also, I never saw any damage, but the way the core pulled down on the cover...well....I did not like that part. Comments please!
