Shackles & Stainless Steel Fittings

The connecting hardware that holds a boat's systems together. This collection covers stainless steel and galvanised shackles in every pattern - D, bow, twisted, strip and harp shackles - alongside snap shackles for halyards and spinnaker gear, quick-release designs from Wichard, and modern Dyneema soft shackles that are lighter than steel and kind to decks and spars.

Choose by load and job: marine-grade stainless for rigging and deck work, hot-dip galvanised for anchor and mooring duty, snap shackles where you need one-handed release under way, and soft shackles where weight, noise or chafe matter. Always check the working load against the job, and mouse or seize any pin that vibration could work loose.
