Wichard 5/16 in Stainless Steel Sail Snap Hook

The Wichard 5/16 in Stainless Steel Sail Snap Hook provides a detachable snap connection for marine hardware. This forged sail snap is intended for rigging connections that can be handled with one hand. Wichard identifies forged 316L stainless steel for this hook.

The snap closes around a compatible fitting and opens when the mechanism is actuated. Wichard notes single-handed fitting and a mechanism intended to avoid jamming. Its attachment eye or back end should be matched to the adjoining line or hardware. The connection should be checked for full engagement before it is put under load.

Choose the length and opening that fit the actual deck fitting or rigging point. A removable snap fitting is intended to work within the complete load path of the equipment. The snap must be fully engaged before the sail-control connection is loaded. Browse more sailing hardware for related deck and rigging equipment.
