Description
The Wichard Quick Release Snap Shackle with Swivel Eye is a high-performance, precision-forged connector designed for demanding marine and sailing applications. Crafted from HR grade 17.4 PH stainless steel, it offers outstanding strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. The swivel eye provides full rotation, preventing twist, chafe, and binding of connected lines or sails during use.
Engineered for quick release under load, the shackle operates by pulling a lanyard that activates the plunger pin. The captive pin design ensures it remains securely attached when open, offering added safety and ease of handling. Available in multiple sizes and working load capacities, it is suitable for various rigging and sail control configurations.
Ideal for use on spinnaker sheets, halyards, and other high-load systems, the Wichard Quick Release Snap Shackle with Swivel Eye combines efficient operation with superior reliability.
