Wichard 2-3/4 in HR Quick Release Swivel Eye Snap Shackle

The Wichard HR Quick Release Swivel Snap Shackle 2-3/4 in is a forged high-resistance snap shackle for sail-control connections. The swivel eye is arranged for connection to a single sheet or halyard. The body uses 17-4 PH stainless steel rather than standard 316L rigging steel. A lanyard-operated release distinguishes it from a conventional screw-pin shackle.

Pulling the release lanyard opens the shackle when it is necessary to disconnect the sail-control line. The rotating swivel lets the attachment turn as the line angle changes. The swivel-eye fitting is intended for a direct sheet or halyard connection.

The specified marine working load for this size is 1,940 lb. Wichard lists a breaking load of 3,300 lb. Confirm the listed overall length and bail opening against the existing rigging hardware. Browse more sailing hardware for related deck and rigging equipment.
