The Tylaska T16 Standard Bail Snap Shackle delivers big-boat strength at a fraction of the weight of conventional shackles. Machined from aerospace-grade 17-4PH stainless steel, it has a 16,000 lb breaking strength and weighs only 9.1 oz, making it ideal for halyards and sheets on 40–50 ft sailboats.

The standard bail leaves room to attach a line while keeping weight and length to a minimum. Tylaska's patented trigger release opens under high load with one hand, so sails can be released quickly and safely.
