Wichard HR Snap Shackle – Swivel, Large Bail, Length 90 mm
The Wichard HR Swivel Snap Shackle with Large Bail in the 90 mm size is a robust, high-load quick-release fitting designed for demanding running rigging applications on sailing yachts. Manufactured in France from HR (High Resistance) stainless steel, it delivers excellent mechanical strength, fatigue resistance, and long-term durability in harsh marine environments.
Compared to the smaller 80 mm model, this 90 mm version offers a higher Safe Working Load while retaining a compact form factor. The Large Bail allows easy connection to thicker ropes, soft shackles, or webbing loops, making it particularly versatile for modern rope-led systems. The integrated swivel prevents torsion build-up, ensuring smooth operation even when loads rotate during trimming.
The quick-release plunger mechanism is engineered for positive, reliable disengagement, even when the shackle is under load — a critical safety and usability feature for performance sailing and high-load deck hardware. With a Safe Working Load of 1280 kg, this model is well suited to heavily loaded control lines, sheets, and trim systems on both performance cruisers and racing yachts.
