Important Safety Information

Soft shackles must be correctly fitted and inspected regularly.

  • Avoid contact with sharp edges and abrasive surfaces.

  • Check the rope fibres for wear, cuts or chafing.

  • Ensure the locking knot is correctly seated before applying load.

  • Do not exceed the manufacturer’s safe working load.

  • Do not use for lifting people, personal safety systems or applications requiring certified lifting equipment.

Additional information

Pro Tip

A soft shackle is particularly useful where a traditional metal shackle could strike the deck or surrounding fittings.

Before using one, check that the attachment points are smooth and free from sharp edges. The correct working load and connection geometry are just as important as the shackle's breaking strength.

For boats sailing regularly around Ayamonte and the Algarve, inspect textile shackles periodically for abrasion and UV-related wear, especially after demanding sailing conditions.
