Wichard 2493W HR Snap Shackle with Thimble Eye 3-3/4" Stainless Steel

The Wichard 2493W HR Snap Shackle with Thimble Eye is a high-performance marine shackle engineered for demanding sailing applications. Forged from Grade 17-4 PH stainless steel, this snap shackle delivers exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and reliable quick-release functionality under load.

The integrated thimble eye design allows the halyard to be spliced directly onto the shackle, eliminating the need for additional hardware and creating a cleaner, lower-profile connection at the masthead or deck. This makes it an ideal solution for halyards, spinnaker tacks, and other running rigging applications where fast, dependable release is critical.
