The Tylaska T8 Standard Bail Snap Shackle is built for applications that need high strength and low weight. Machined from aerospace-grade 17-4PH stainless steel, it has an 8,000 lb breaking strength and weighs only 3.6 oz, making it ideal for halyards and sheets on 22–36 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.
