I bought some rings and experimented with regular channel lock type pliers. I bit of a pain but worked all right.
I'm not too worried about using clips for this. The picture was from either the old halyard that came with the boat or from a P16 I scavenged some stuff off of. I had my jib jury rigged a different way before I understood how the halyard was suppose to work so I was trying to remedy that this year. Anyhow very little strain involved for raising the jib and the halyard is not in any way used for keeping the jib up once it's locked in it's ring and the downhaul set, so I think the Rings will work good. If I had any experience with splicing and a kit for 3/16 line I'd just splice in a becket on each side.
They funny thing is. For my trap shock cord I like to be able to remove the cord easily at the end of the year and since on the Prindle the cord goes through some holes in the Tramp I did not want to make them permanent. So I just tie a figure 8 in the end push the knot back in the hole on the clip like it's made to do. No Hog Rings there.
