Collection: Wichard Marine Hardware

Built for Load & Longevity 

When you're fully loaded up and wishing you put that reef in before the breeze blew up, you really don't want to be second guessing your hardware. That's exactly why sailors from club cruisers, to offshore campaigners and high latitude adventures trust Wichard marine hardware  and why we stock the full range at Rope44.

Wichard has been manufacturing high performance sailing hardware for over 100 years. Made in France from marine-grade 316L stainless steel, every piece in the Wichard range is engineered to handle the loads that sailing puts on your rig, your safety gear and your deck. Snap shackles that release cleanly under load. Shackles that hold when it counts and deck hardware you fit and forget - in the best possible way.

What We Stock

Wichard Snap Shackles The most popular Wichard product, and for good reason. Whether you need a Wichard swivel snap shackle for your spinnaker halyard, a fixed eye snap shackle for a control line, or a Wichard quick release snap shackle for your kite tack, there's a size and style for every application. The HR (High Resistance) range adds extra load capacity, and if you're serious about weight savings, the Wichard titanium snap shackle range is for you.

Wichard Shackles From standard bow shackles and D-shackles through to captive pin, key pin, HR high-resistance and soft shackles - Wichard shackles cover everything from mooring to running rigging to safety critical connections. If you're building a custom rig or replacing worn fittings, this is where to start.

Wichard Safety & Rigging Accessories Jacklines, safety tethers, stay adjusters, boom brakes (Wichard GybEasy - a favourite for shorthanded sailing and offshore passages), swivels, mooring hooks and chain grips. The hardware behind a properly set-up boat.
