WICHARD: Speedlink Shackle

Speedlink was developed using finite element analysis software and has an optimized design. Its shape, cut-outs, and ribs make it extremely light and with outstanding working and breaking loads and its optimized design, Speedlink offers one of the best strength / weight ratios of the market: 52g for a 2300 Kg breaking load.
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 optimized design thanks to its shape, cut-outs, and ribs. It has 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 optimized 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.
