Wichard Snatch Block with Snap Shackle 18mm Rope

The Wichard Snatch Block with Snap Shackle combines a removable sailing block with an integrated attachment point for line-handling applications. It is sized for rope up to 18 mm and carries a listed 2,640 lb working load, giving sailors a compact option for redirecting a loaded line where a block needs to be attached and removed as part of the rigging setup.

The snap-shackle connection keeps the attachment hardware with the block instead of requiring a separate shackle during setup. Before use, confirm rope diameter, working load, attachment point, and available clearance so the block can align with the loaded line without binding or contacting nearby hardware.

Inspect the block, shackle, release mechanism, and line-contact surfaces regularly for wear, deformation, or damage before loading the assembly. This Wichard model is made in France.

• Combines line redirection and removable attachment in one sailing-hardware assembly
