TYLASKA SHACKLES
Tylaska shackles are perfect for applications requiring high strength and low weight. One handed operation, easy to open under tension, made in the USA. Available in different sizes as standard, large or clevis bail versions.
HALYARD SHACKLES
Tylaska halyard shackles have the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any existing halyard shackle on the market. A captive stainless pin makes for easy operation. The all-metal machined line thimble allows for use as a 2-1 purchase without wear or melting that occurs with plastic molded thimbles. Lines can also be permanently spliced for a fixed halyard.
FIDS AND DOG BONES
High tech, lightweight Tylaska fids are machined from solid aircraft aluminium and knurled for a more secure grip. An indispensable tool for fast, safe releases of lines under heavy loads.
Dog bones are convenient for attaching outhauls, the connection of soft loops used for attaching blocks to deck fittings and other rigging applications. Unlike a knot, dog bone connections don’t jam up under tension and can be quickly attached or detached. Available in eight sizes in aluminium or stainless depending on the strength requirements.
