Wichard Speedlink HR Trigger Snap Shackle with Swivel Shackle

• Speedlink is the new trigger snap shackle dedicated to spinnaker operations on racing boats and offering an excellent weight / performance ratio.
• Ultra lightweight: developed by using finite element analysis software, Speedlink has an optimised design thanks to its shape, cut-outs and ribs. Its make it extremely design and gives its one of the best strength/weight ratios on the market.
• Easy opening: opening under load, whether manually or using release fid, is easy and effortless thanks to the generous passage diameter and its optimised slopes.
• No accidental opening: the special shape of the latch reduces inertia and avoids unintentional opening, especially under impact.
• Sturdy: Speedlink is forged in HR stainless steel and can bear outstanding working and breaking loads for a minimum weight.
• Modern design: its ultra-technical lines avoid excessive rope wear and prevent adjacent lines from jamming.

Applications

• Spinnaker operations: sheets, halyards, peeling. 

Caption

• Working load (WL) : for nautical applications. 
• Working Load Limit (WLL): for industrial applications only.
• The safety factor is 5 times the breaking load.
• WLL = Breaking load / 5.
