Default Just Lash It

Make a small eye in end of the sheet and lash it to the clew ring with 8 or 10 turns of small diameter Dyneema cord such as Samson "Lash It". If you need to remove the sheet just cut the lashing.

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.
