UHMWPE Soft Shackle

Product description

This strong soft shackle made from UHMWPE is an elegant and powerful alternative to heavy-duty or metal shackles on halyards and sheets. Because it is made from UHMWPE fibre it is lightweight and extremely strong, and it will not damage your deck, spars or rigging.

It is simple to use and fitted with a pull cord that works as a quick release, so the shackle can be undone in seconds, even under load.

Key features

  • Very light: a fraction of the weight of a comparable steel shackle.
  • Quick release: pull cord releases the locking knot in seconds.
  • No corrosion: synthetic fibre, unaffected by salt water.
  • Deck friendly: will not dent, scratch or damage hardware.
  • Floats: stays on the surface if dropped overboard.

Applications

  • Halyards and sheets
  • Blocks, snatch blocks and soft attachments
  • Lashings and temporary connections
  • Recovery and towing hardware
