Closing these threadless
shackles is done simply by rotating the pin half a done simply by rotating
the pin half a turn: it doesn't get much quicker? For

''HR'' stands for High Resistance.
The 17.4 PH stainless steel that these shackles are forged from
offers very high level mechanical performance characteristics. These models, which form an integral
part of the fittings on large ocean-going monohulls and multihulls, are also widely used in the
industrial sector.
Titanium shackles (Ti) these shackles, which are forged from TA6V titanium alloy, were
designed for high-level racing. Compared to equivalent High Resistance models, they offer a weight
saving of approximately 40%.
Thimble shackles.
These shackles are stylish and very reliable.
Their special shape enables an end to be directly spliced without adding an
additional
thimble. The stainless steel models with a thimble moulded over the top are
designed for boats under 60 foot
long. For bigger boats, forged models made of either High Resistance stainless
steel or titanium have been specially developed. |
