Wichard HR Bow Shackle - 14mm Diameter - 35/64"

The Wichard HR Bow Shackle in 14mm diameter is essential for reliable deck rigging and mooring systems on modern cruising sailboats and working vessels. This shackle is designed for those who prioritize safety and performance in their hardware, connecting anchor rode, halyards, and standing rigging with confidence.

Wichard's engineering expertise ensures that this shackle is rated for high-load performance in marine environments, where corrosion and fatigue are significant concerns. The 14mm diameter provides a working load suitable for medium to large displacement hulls while remaining lightweight to avoid excess top-weight aloft or at the bow. The pin design is crafted to facilitate smooth operation under load, minimizing wear and enhancing longevity.

Ideal for cruising sailors upgrading rigging, commercial operators replacing worn deck hardware, and racing crews seeking reliability, this shackle is versatile for various applications, including connecting anchor chains, securing forestays, and rigging. Wichard typically uses marine-grade stainless steel or specially hardened alloys to resist salt-water degradation while maintaining precise tolerances for safety-critical applications.
