Wichard Captive Pin D Shackle - Diameter 10mm - 13/32"

The Wichard Captive Pin D Shackle in 10mm diameter (13/32") is essential marine hardware for serious boaters, sailors, and riggers who demand reliability under load. This captive pin design locks your rigging, anchor lines, and deck hardware in place, significantly reducing the risk of accidental separation—a critical safety feature in challenging conditions.

Built by Wichard Marine, a trusted name in professional maritime applications for over a century, this shackle features a captive pin mechanism that prevents the pin from vibrating loose or dropping overboard. The D-shaped body distributes load evenly across the shackle's arms, enhancing strength-to-weight performance. Its forged stainless steel construction resists salt spray corrosion, ensuring long-lasting functionality.

This 10mm shackle is ideal for cruising sailors, charter boat operators, and anglers who need reliable connections for rigging spreader bars, securing halyards, or anchoring systems. While the captive pin design minimizes the risk of losing pins, it is still advisable to carry spares for added safety. The compact dimensions of 2 x 1 x 6 inches make it easy to store and transport.
