Was sailing, such a juicy wind, loud noise!! Shackle on mast tang from lowes snapped like wood, so sad. Load rating?? Next purchase: mcmastercarr.com where smart people work. So upset, writing from my trampoline, waiting for tow hehe |

OEM Hobie shackle from Riley Australia has breaking load rating of 2500Kg. But, as with everything on a boat, wear, corrosion, and work-hardening can and will cause failure. Mast tang shackles should be considered wear items and replaced when worn. Certainly if it’s a new-to-you boat, it’s $25 well spent. Also use safety wire. |
