Wichard 10mm Stainless Captive Pin Thimble Shackle

The Wichard Thimble Shackle Captive 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. The shackle should be loaded in the intended alignment rather than across an unsupported side angle.

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. Check the intended connection for correct pin seating before applying load. Browse more sailing hardware for related deck and rigging equipment.
