Wichard Webbing Snap Shackle - 3-1/8"

The Wichard Webbing Snap Shackle - 3-1/8" is a marine-grade hardware component engineered for sailors, boaters, and water sports enthusiasts who demand reliable deck rigging and attachment solutions. Whether you're securing halyards, sheets, or safety tethers on a cruising sailboat, racing dinghy, or commercial vessel, this snap shackle provides the rapid connect-disconnect functionality essential for modern boating. Built to withstand saltwater exposure and constant mechanical stress, it's the hardware choice of professionals who can't afford failure on the water.

Manufactured from Grade 17.4 PH stainless steel and forged under high-pressure processes, the Wichard Webbing Snap Shackle features a robust design with a flat profile that integrates seamlessly with webbing attachment points—a critical advantage when working with sails, straps, or rigging bands. The integrated swivel eye enables free 360-degree rotation, eliminating torque twist and extending the lifespan of both the shackle and your rigging. This rotational freedom is especially valuable in dynamic conditions where loads shift and swing; the swivel prevents the binding and metal fatigue that plague fixed-pin alternatives.

Ideal for cruising sailors, racing crews, and marine maintenance professionals, the 3-1/8" size bridges the gap between light-duty utility shackles and oversized hardware—versatile enough for both deck rigging and safety equipment. It integrates with standard marine webbing widths (typically 1-2 inches) and handles loads common in modern sailing rigs. For anyone outfitting or upgrading deck systems, this Wichard shackle delivers European engineering reliability at a practical weight of just 1 pound, making it an essential component for DIY refits or professional marine service work.
