Bronze Snap Shackles

Brookes & Adams Bronze Snapshackles provide an authentic traditional look as well as a practical solution for terminating sheets, halyards and control lines.

Bronze and brass look similar, but bronze is the superior metal in a marine environment.

The Jimmy Green Rigging Team opt for genuine bronze snap shackles manufactured in the UK by Brookes & Adams.

Bronze snap shackles are available in three different sizes to suit lines from 5mm up to 12mm:

Small - 5/6mm
Medium - 8/10mm
Large - 12mm

Bronze Snap Shackles are available in two different configurations according to their application:

Brookes & Adams Fixed Eye Snap Shackle Orientation
A fixed eye is generally the go-to version where rotation is discouraged, making them ideal for headsail halyards on classic yachts

Brookes & Adams Swivel Eye Snap Shackle Option for Rotation

A swivel eye allows the rope to rotate when subjected to a twisting moment, making them ideal for attaching sheets and halyards to spinnakers and other lightweight downwind sails on classic yachts.
