Description
The Wichard Thimble Shackle with Captive Pin is a robust stainless steel fitting that combines the strength of a forged shackle with the functionality of an integrated thimble. Manufactured from marine-grade 316L stainless steel, it provides excellent corrosion resistance and long-lasting performance in demanding marine environments. The thimble shape allows a rope to be spliced directly into the fitting, removing the need for a separate thimble and creating a cleaner, stronger connection.
The captive pin design ensures the pin remains attached when open, preventing loss and improving safety during use. This feature is particularly valuable in dynamic or offshore conditions where handling small components can be difficult. Ideal for mainsheet or halyard terminations, the Wichard Thimble Shackle with Captive Pin delivers strength, simplicity, and reliability for professional rigging applications.
