Wichard 1414W Captive Pin Long D Shackle 8mm (5/16") 316L Stainless Steel

The Wichard 1414W Captive Pin Long D Shackle is a premium marine-grade shackle forged from grade 316L stainless steel, delivering exceptional strength and corrosion resistance for demanding marine and offshore applications. The long-body "D" profile provides additional clearance compared to a standard D shackle, making it ideal for block attachments, halyard connections, and other rigging applications where extra length is required.

What sets this shackle apart is its captive pin design: the pin remains physically connected to the shackle body at all times—even when fully opened—eliminating the risk of losing the pin overboard or during a hectic sail change. The pin self-locks by engaging one of the precision-machined indentations on the shackle body, preventing accidental loosening from vibration or shock loads.
