The shackle you are using is DANGEROUS !
The loop or whatever you use will get stuck on your model.
The only safe shackle is this one: http://marine.wichard.com/rubrique-Swiv ... 00-ME.html

You mean this? Oh boy, how wrong Toby is to give such a poor advice...And all this racers who are using it.
If you put it on your spreader, it is pull to release and requires two hands with no load.
You mean like this? :iriejohn wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2019 10:15 amWhat is required is a QR that can be released with one handed push away (the de facto standard) but, critically, can also be re-engaged one handed. For example, both release and re-engagement must be achievable with one arm behind ones back.
We do this with car seat belts.
So it seems to me that having something like the seat belt metal tongue welded onto the spreader bar with the QR being a kitesurfing friendly push away version of the release mechanism (red in the below pucture) at the side of the seat would achieve exactly this.
