Wichard 75mm Safety Snap Hook for Sailboats

The Wichard Safety Snap Hook 75mm for Marine Rigging provides a detachable snap connection for marine hardware. Its hook and gate provide a way to fasten and release the adjoining equipment. Wichard identifies forged 316L stainless steel for this hook. It is a hook-style connector rather than a screw-pin shackle.

The snap closes around a compatible fitting and opens when the mechanism is actuated. A safety-hook design requires deliberate operation of its gate or latch. Its attachment eye or back end should be matched to the adjoining line or hardware. The connection should be checked for full engagement before it is put under load.

Choose the length and opening that fit the actual deck fitting or rigging point. A removable snap fitting is intended to work within the complete load path of the equipment. The snap gate should be free of nearby obstructions once connected. Browse more sailing hardware for related deck and rigging equipment.
