Looking For Plastic Sail Shackle

[Dan Grosz]

I think the one I need is about 7/8". I checked with Boat US, West Marine, and a few sail lofts and apparently these are not made anymore. Would appreciate any tips on finding.ThanksDanAquila 33.5Photo attached

Can't you replace them with the new type?

I Could Not Find Them Either

I replaced all of mine along with new slugs. Cheap project compared to most. Made a big difference in raising and lowering the sail too. If one went the others are probably about to.

Thanks -- they have something very close

Sailrite is a great suggestion. I couldn't find the exact same thing but they have a 7/8" shackle that is very close. Thanks for the tip. I also got some help from the Doyle Service Center in Marblehead; they gave me a few shackles that are a little smaller but could be used in a crunch.-Dan
