Wichard 1414W Captive Pin Long D Shackle Stainless Steel Shackles - 8mm 5/16 316L

The Wichard 1414W is a Captive Pin Long D Shackle precision-forged from Grade 316L stainless steel, designed for demanding marine and rigging applications. The long D (bow) profile provides a larger internal working area compared to standard D shackles, making it ideal for connecting lines, blocks, and fittings where clearance and load distribution matter.

The defining feature of this shackle is its captive pin design — the pin remains connected to the shackle body at all times, even when fully opened. This eliminates the risk of losing the pin overboard or in the field, a critical advantage in offshore sailing, racing, and professional rigging environments.

Key Features:

• Captive pin design — pin stays attached to the body at all times, even when open
• Forged from Grade 316L stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance in saltwater environments
• Long D (bow) shackle profile for increased internal clearance and load distribution
• 8mm (5/16") pin diameter
• Designed for marine, sailing, and rigging applications
• Meets the high manufacturing standards Wichard is known for in professional sailing hardware

Wichard is a French manufacturer with decades of heritage producing premium marine hardware trusted by offshore racers and cruisers worldwide. The 1414W captive pin shackle reflects that commitment to quality, safety, and precision engineering.
