Swiveling Low-Cost Connectors

The EquipLite Swiveling Low-Cost Connectors boast a weight savings of approximately 70%–80% over traditional stainless shackles. The softer materials used result in less damage to masts, spinnaker tracks, decks, etc., when flogging during tacks or pre-start.

These connectors are easy and quick to attach; they are ideal for jib sheets, spinnaker sheets and lower load halyards (spinnaker, topping lifts, etc.). These are for use with covered lines only.

High-strength material—low friction, impact-resistant
The swivel quick connectors use high-strength Hardkote–anodized high-tensile aluminum body with high-load polymer bearing technology for easy rotation. They have unmatched impact and wear-resistance.

Reduced damage to the rig—safe and will not jam if overloaded
The compact swivel quick connector with Velcro wrap protection reduces damage to the rig. Safer: Light weight reduces risk of injury when flogging, reduced damage to mast, spinnaker tracks, topsides, etc. Will not jam even if overloaded and will operate close to break load. Will not fatigue and fail prematurely compared to stainless steel.

Two-in-one system
The lock system can be built in to the swivel connector, which makes the system as compact as possible for maximum luff length and sail performance.

Note: Matching parts should be rounded, smooth, and with no sharp edges or burrs.
Dyneema loops are coated with an UV coating, recoat when worn for long life. It is recommended that loops should be replaced when worn.
