Shackles
Joan: As far as I know, original equipment is a single stamped shackle for the traveler car/lower sheet block connection, at least on the '94 29.5. I'm not quite sure why two shackles. I've tried both stamped and forged shackles and bent them all (except Wichard!). The problem with forged is that they jam at odd angles at the traveler car with bending the result. I've gone back to best quality stamped: Harken. Hope this helps. Bob Gillan S/V Far Bugle
