Wichard 1441W Captive Pin Bow Shackle Grade Stainless Steel Shackles - 4mm 5/32 316L

The Wichard 1441W Captive Pin Bow Shackle is a precision-forged marine shackle designed for reliability in demanding sailing and marine applications. Manufactured from Grade 316L stainless steel, this shackle delivers exceptional corrosion resistance in saltwater environments, making it a trusted choice for rigging, running lines, and safety-critical connections.

The defining feature of the 1441W is its captive pin design — the pin remains attached to the bow body at all times, even when fully opened. This eliminates the risk of dropping or losing the pin during installation or adjustment, a critical advantage when working at height on a mast or in rough conditions offshore.

Key Features:

• Forged from Grade 316L stainless steel for superior strength and corrosion resistance
• Captive pin design — pin stays connected to the body when open, preventing loss
• Bow (omega) shackle shape distributes load evenly for multi-directional pulling
• Diameter: 4mm (5/32")
• Designed and manufactured by Wichard, a trusted French marine hardware brand
• Suitable for sailing rigging, marine safety gear, and offshore applications

Wichard's 1441W shackle is ideal for sailors and marine professionals who demand hardware that performs without compromise. The captive pin bow shackle design is especially valued in racing and cruising applications where losing a small component overboard is not an option.
