Wichard 10mm Stainless Captive Pin D Shackle

The Wichard Captive Pin D 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 straight-sided D profile. The pin remains attached to the body when the shackle is opened.

Its D shape suits connections that load primarily through the straight body and pin. 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. The shackle can be used with other rigging hardware only where the connection and load arrangement are compatible.

The marine working load listed for this size is 3,350 lb. The published breaking load is 11,460 lb. 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. Browse more sailing hardware for related deck and rigging equipment.
