Spinnaker schackles

Post by normbue »

Hey... When I got Grace, #92, it had Plastic Shackles on the spinnaker sheets. Are they still available? If so, where?

We on hunting party do not use shackles. We use a low stretch line that has the outer core stripped.WE tie the sheets to the kite with a bowline.

You're probably thinking of "Nab-Shackles". They're still available, at least on Amazon. But, like Mark already stated, you're probably better off just tying them. Especially if you are using a companionway bag.

Thanks! Actually I was going to use them on my Genoa/Jib sheets.
