Speedlink is the new trigger snap shackle dedicated to spinnaker operations on racing boats and offering an excellent weight / performance ratio.

Easy opening: opening under load, whether manually or using release fid, is easy and effortless thanks to the generous passage diameter and its optimised slopes.
No accidental opening: the special shape of the latch reduces inertia and avoids unintentional opening, especially under impact.
Sturdy: Speedlink is forged in HR stainless steel and can bear outstanding working and breaking loads for a minimum weight.
Modern design: its ultra-technical lines avoid excessive rope wear and prevent adjacent lines from jamming.
