Wichard 8mm Stainless Captive Pin Long D Shackle

The Wichard Captive Pin Long D Shackle 8mm 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 an extended straight-sided D profile. The pin remains attached to the body when the shackle is opened.

The extra length can provide clearance between two connected fittings. 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 2,200 lb. The published breaking load is 7,930 lb. Select the diameter and opening dimensions for the specific block, line, or deck fitting. Browse more sailing hardware for related deck and rigging equipment.
