Wichard HR Snap Shackle – Swivel, Standard Bail, Length 70 mm
The Wichard HR Swivel Snap Shackle with Standard Bail in the 70 mm size is a compact, high-strength quick-release fitting designed for running rigging applications where space efficiency and reliable load handling are essential. Manufactured in France from HR (High Resistance) stainless steel, it offers excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance for long-term marine use.
As the smallest model in the Standard Bail range, this 70 mm snap shackle is ideal where a lower profile connection is preferred. The Standard Bail provides a neat, streamlined attachment to rope loops, spliced eyes, or shackles, while the integrated swivel prevents torsional loading and allows smooth alignment under load.
The precision-engineered quick-release plunger enables positive disconnection even when the shackle is under tension, making it a dependable safety feature in active sail handling systems. With a Safe Working Load of 880 kg, this model is well suited to control lines, sheets, and trim systems on smaller performance cruisers, sportboats, and racing yachts.
