    Default Halyard hitch

    Talking to Greg about snap shakles and how they are expensive on a 40 ft boat, we agreed that using a hitch to secure the halyard to sails may be best. I've seen 3 ways to do this:

    1. Buntline hitch: https://www.animatedknots.com/buntline-hitch-knot;
    2. Halyard hitch: https://www.animatedknots.com/halyard-hitch-knot;
    3. Halyard hitch (go figure): https://www.netknots.com/rope_knots/halyard-hitch

    They're all compact knots that would get tighter under pressure. I think #2 is the way to go as it looks like the one that would be less stressed under tension and be most secure.
