Wichard 100mm HR Webbing Swivel Snap Shackle

The Wichard HR Snap Shackle Webbing Swivel 100mm is a snap shackle for connecting a sail-control line or related rigging fitting. The webbing swivel provides a flat bearing point for a compatible strap. Wichard identifies 17-4 PH high-resistance steel for this fitting. The spring/plunger arrangement differs from the screw pin on a conventional shackle.

The release opens the hook when the connection needs to be changed. A lanyard can be fitted to the plunger on versions equipped for remote operation. The swivel helps the sail-control connection rotate freely. This design is intended for frequent connection changes rather than a permanently bolted deck fitting.

The stated marine working load is 2,820 lb. The manufacturer publishes a breaking load of 8,480 lb. Check the eye, hook opening, and overall length for the intended installation. The rigging load and the orientation of the connection both matter when selecting a snap shackle. Browse more sailing hardware for related deck and rigging equipment.
