Wichard 10mm Allen Head Pin Thimble Shackle

The Wichard Thimble Shackle Allen Head Pin 10mm is a forged shackle for connecting sailboat rigging and deck fittings. Wichard specifies 316L stainless steel construction for this fitting. The connection uses an integral rope-bearing thimble.

The rope can be spliced around the built-in thimble without adding a separate thimble. The retained pin avoids losing a loose pin during rigging changes. An Allen-head pin is intended for operation with the corresponding hex key. 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 3,350 lb. The published breaking load is 11,020 lb. Wichard identifies mainsheet and halyard connections as suitable uses. Browse more sailing hardware for related deck and rigging equipment.
