Actually a super compact snap shackle, I bought several. With two of them, the locking pin does not slide through completely by itself, which can be fatal. For me it meant that my daughter had pulled the spine halyard up into the mast because the lock had popped open. I hope that grinds in and then fluff better. The other two work without any complaints and are very compact when spliced with rope.

The shackle is very narrow in comparison and therefore suitable for traps. I put the shackle in a forehead spliced. Here he has a small disadvantage. The pulling direction for opening the shackle is opposite to the pull direction of the sheet. So be inclined forward. This can lead, for example, to the spi for clamping. Let's see how he is m use.

The carabiner mounted on the 10mm Glinstein spliced halyard opened when the jib was raised. I realized that the spring lacked the strength to close this one. So I secured it with a Rilsan clamp, but that wasn't enough, the Rilsan exploded when the carabiner was accidentally opened and the halyard flew off, so I replaced the carabiner with a shackle.
