Wichard 1245W Self-Locking Bow Shackle 10mm 316L Stainless Steel

The Wichard 1245W is a self-locking bow shackle forged from Grade 316L stainless steel, offering superior corrosion resistance and reliable performance in demanding marine environments. With a 10mm (13/32") pin diameter, this shackle is engineered for sailors and riggers who need a secure, tool-free connection that won't work loose under vibration or load cycling.

Key Features:

• Self-locking mechanism — the pin locks into one of several indentations, preventing accidental unscrewing without the need for mousing wire or tools
• Forged Grade 316L stainless steel construction for maximum strength and excellent resistance to saltwater corrosion
• Bow (omega) shackle profile designed to accept loads from multiple directions without side-loading the pin
• 10mm (13/32") pin diameter — a versatile mid-range size suitable for a wide range of rigging applications
• Eliminates the risk of the pin loosening under vibration, shock loads, or repeated cycling
• Compliant with Wichard's rigorous quality standards for professional marine and sailing use

Wichard self-locking shackles are trusted by offshore racing teams and cruising sailors alike. The 1245W is ideal for use on halyards, sheets, blocks, and standing rigging where a secure, low-maintenance connection is essential.
