Wichard 10mm Stainless Captive Pin Bow Shackle

The Wichard Captive Pin Bow Shackle 10mm for Marine Rigging is a forged shackle for connecting sailboat rigging and deck fittings. Wichard specifies 316L stainless steel construction for this fitting. The connection uses a rounded bow with room for multiple compatible connections. The pin remains attached to the body when the shackle is opened.

The bow shape can take more than one rope or cable when the application calls for a wider connection. The retained pin avoids losing a loose pin during rigging changes. The shackle should be loaded in the intended alignment rather than across an unsupported side angle.

Select the diameter and opening dimensions for the specific block, line, or deck fitting. Wichard distinguishes the industrial working load limit from the marine working load rating. The pin should seat fully in the bow before a load is applied. Browse more sailing hardware for related deck and rigging equipment.
