Oh boy! I'm gonna be famous.
I'd be interested to hear how this arrangement works for you. I've never had a lick of trouble with mine and it's so smooth I can't see how it would hang up on any thing.
I've been giving it more thought over the weekend and I can understand that on a larger boat tan mine, one might not want to use a sinlge piece of rope as both starboard and port sheets. In that case, I think simple eye splices in the ends of the sheets would suffice with the same sort of strop in the clew of the sail.
It seems to me that this would almost totally eliminate snaggy stuff and would be extremely light weight for light air sails.
Good luck with it.
