Wichard 15/32 in HR Stainless Steel D Shackle

The Wichard HR D Shackle 15/32 in Stainless Steel is a forged shackle for connecting sailboat rigging and deck fittings. Its 17-4 PH high-resistance stainless steel body is intended for demanding load applications. The connection uses a straight-sided D profile. Its pin arrangement matches the listed shackle style.

Its D shape suits connections that load primarily through the straight body and pin. Pin and opening dimensions should match the hardware connected to it. 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 7,930 lb. The published breaking load is 22,040 lb. Wichard specifically excludes this HR shackle from mooring use. Wichard distinguishes the industrial working load limit from the marine working load rating. Browse more sailing hardware for related deck and rigging equipment.
