Wichard 50mm Fixed Eye Snap Shackle for Sailboats

The Wichard Snap Shackle with Fixed Eye 50mm is a snap shackle for connecting a sail-control line or related rigging fitting. The fixed eye creates a permanent attachment position at the shackle end. Wichard identifies 17-4 PH high-resistance steel for this fitting. The spring/plunger arrangement differs from the screw pin on a conventional shackle.

The release opens the hook when the connection needs to be changed. A lanyard can be fitted to the plunger on versions equipped for remote operation. The attachment geometry should be matched to the adjoining line, webbing, or hardware.

Check the eye, hook opening, and overall length for the intended installation. The rigging load and the orientation of the connection both matter when selecting a snap shackle. The release and any swiveling attachment should move freely during pre-use inspection. Browse more sailing hardware for related deck and rigging equipment.
