Description
The Wichard Quick Release Snap Shackle with Large Bail is a precision-forged stainless steel connector engineered for fast, reliable release under load. Manufactured from HR (17.4 PH) stainless steel, it provides exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and durability in demanding marine environments. The large bail design offers generous clearance, making it ideal for attaching multiple lines or thicker fittings within sail control systems.
Operation is straightforward and dependable: a pull on the lanyard releases the plunger pin, allowing instant detachment even when under tension. The swivel bail provides full 360-degree rotation, helping to prevent twist, chafe, and line binding.
Available in a range of sizes from approximately 80 mm to 160 mm, this shackle supports high working loads across various sailing configurations. The Wichard Quick Release Snap Shackle with Large Bail delivers smooth, efficient performance wherever rapid, secure release is required at sea.
