Crafted from durable Dyneema SK78 fiber and stainless steel, this shackle offers an optimal balance of strength and weight savings. It replaces traditional shackles and snap hooks, providing a versatile solution for various fastening applications on boats and marine equipment. Its design requires no prior knowledge of ropework, making it accessible for users of all experience levels. The SoftLink's remarkable strength-to-weight ratio means it is four to five times lighter than comparable stainless steel shackles, significantly reducing overall load on rigging systems without compromising safety or durability. Its reusability ensures a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional hardware, while its ease of fitting and opening makes it suitable for quick adjustments during sailing or maintenance tasks. Suitable for applications requiring a working load of up to 8,370 pounds and a breaking load of 11,020 pounds, the SoftLink 5.0 is built to handle demanding nautical environments. Its compact dimensions—5mm in diameter and 3 35\/64 inches in length—make it a practical choice for tight spaces and quick deployment. Whether used for securing lines, attaching gear, or replacing shackles in rigging, this soft shackle is an essential tool for sailors who prioritize performance, safety, and simplicity. The product is sold individually and is ideal for both recreational and industrial maritime applications, meeting the needs of modern sailors and marine professionals alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDeveloped by Wichard Marine for performance and ease of use\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFour to five times lighter than traditional stainless steel shackles of similar strength\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNo prior ropework knowledge required\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eReplaces shackles and snap hooks for versatile fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEasy to install and open for quick adjustments\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRemarkably lightweight yet strong and durable\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eReusable for long-term cost savings\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAvailable in three sizes for different applications\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMade from high-strength Dyneema SK78 fiber and 316L stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wichard Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44442493976618,"sku":"97723","price":63.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/2285\/8794\/files\/97723XL.jpg?v=1780953845","url":"https:\/\/atticusgoods.com\/products\/wichard-marine-softlink-5-0-soft-shackle-5mm-diameter-13-64-inch-90mm-length","provider":"Atticus Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
