The Jimmy Green Rigging Team are happy to splice your existing shackles onto your new lines.
Send or drop them in to the Rigging Team, but don't forget to let us know, so that we don't splice your lines before we receive the shackles :-(

Don’t get becalmed

Set sail with the benefit of Team Jimmy Green expertise. We are confident that you will look forward to our emails.
