Just received mine earlier this week and I'm pretty impressed by the design. And the spring loaded release of the ring when unloaded... almost cracked my laptop screen!
Question, though, is about how you'd mount that ring onto the depower rope WITHOUT it being spliced?
I like using plain length of braided dyneema from local boat shop, and being able to replace them on the spot quickly, without tools. I also like reversing the rope or shifting it somehow to spread the wear. Which is all possible to do when using a ClamCleat's aero cleat.
Anyway, here's some of the options I was considering:
Or make a bowline knot to make a loop/larkshead, and a skateboard bushing as cushioning between the top of that bowline knot and the hole in the bar.
I'm not worried at all to add space between ring and bar, as this is much shorter than my traditional QR, and I like having a stopper for my fully sheeted-in position.
(I can also use a longer spreader bar to QR connection to adjust that spacing).
