Sailing Shackles
One of the toughest and most versatile pieces of equipment located on any vessel, sailing shackles get lots of jobs done. Defender's sailboat shackles are rated for loads up to 10,000 pounds and are offered in standard, lock, and specialty styles. The workhorse of boating and sailing shackles can also be utilized on powerboats!
Multiple shackle applications - check the working loads
There are plenty of jobs aboard that can be wrangled with a sailing shackle. Shackles are available with self-locking pins, removable pins, and J lock styles. Working loads vary, as well as the size of shackles so consider your application and be certain the sailing shackle you choose will fit your job.
Special shackles even come in colors!
Twisted sailboat shackles are offered in stainless steel with self-locking pins. These specialty shackles allow a 90-degree connection while the shackle lays flat and stays out of the way. Soft shackles at Defender Marine come in black or red and reduce friction and scratching against boat surfaces.
Shackle uses to determine the style
Twisted, self-locking, snap shackles, long shackles, even the J Lock shackle that fits freely through genoa blocks while tackling loads up to 10,000 - the use of the sailboat shackle determines its use. Special halyard and thimble shackles keep lines snug in place even when shackles are open or unlocked, so guiding any type of line makes this shackle a great choice. Find the use, then choose the right shackle at Defender Marine.
