Looking for block shackles

[goharris321]

The main sheet block shackles on my Catalina 22 need to be replaced, but I am having trouble finding the type. I'm talking about the one that attaches the block to the traveler, and the one that attaches the upper block to the boom. They are not round stock but more of a strap type. I've looked at Catalina direct and West Marine, neither seem to carry them.

Thanks Very Much and Fair Winds!

I was just going to recommend them as well. I just ordered a block with that type of shackle. Im not sure i've seen the shackle sold alone but im pretty sure if not and you called them, they would sell you some.

You can use any brand, I like the Garhauer size 30 or the Harken 57mm carbo. Most C22's have a 3:1 mainsheet, so you will need to hang a single with becket from the boom, and a fiddle with a cam on the other side.
