Sea Sure SS6 6mm Rope Shackle - Stealth Fibre Marine Hardware

The Sea Sure SS6 is a 6mm diameter rope shackle constructed from high-performance Stealth Fibre 12-strand braid, designed for marine sailing and rigging applications. This lightweight alternative to traditional metal shackles offers superior strength-to-weight performance while eliminating corrosion concerns.

Key Features:

• Made from Stealth Fibre 12-strand braid (UHMWPE construction)
• 6mm diameter with approximately 140mm working length
• Higher breaking load than equivalent stainless steel shackles
• Significantly lighter weight than metal alternatives
• Will not rust, corrode, or deteriorate in marine environments
• Floats on water for easy retrieval
• Easy to splice and handle

Rope shackles made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers provide exceptional strength characteristics - up to 15 times stronger than steel on a weight-for-weight basis. The 6mm size is ideal for moderate-load applications on sailboats, dinghies, and general marine rigging where reduced weight and improved safety are priorities. Unlike metal shackles that can cause injury if they fail under load, rope shackles have minimal recoil properties.
