Wichard HR Snap Shackle – Swivel, Standard Bail, Length 80 mm
The Wichard HR Swivel Snap Shackle with Standard Bail in the 80 mm size is a compact yet higher-capacity quick-release fitting designed for running rigging applications where a low-profile connection and increased working load are required. Manufactured in France from HR (High Resistance) stainless steel, it delivers excellent strength, durability, and corrosion resistance for long-term marine use.
This 80 mm model offers a step up in load capacity from the smallest Standard Bail size while maintaining a streamlined form. The Standard Bail provides a neat attachment to rope loops, spliced eyes, or shackles, making it ideal where deck space is limited. The integrated swivel prevents torsional loading and ensures smooth alignment under load during trimming and adjustment.
The reliable quick-release plunger mechanism allows positive disengagement even when the shackle is under tension, enhancing safety and ease of use in active sail handling systems. With a Safe Working Load of 1280 kg, this snap shackle is well suited to sheets, control lines, and trim systems on performance cruisers and racing yachts.
