Shackle guards for spinnaker lines are often called doughnuts.  While these doughnuts have many uses, they are primarily used to protect shackles installed on your spinnaker lines preventing the shackle from jamming into pole end fittings. They can also be used as sail protectors on rails and lifelines, on crosstree spreaders or as trapeze handles.

Available in several sizes in Red, Green or White.

Install these bright, colored plastic balls at the ends of control lines for an improved grip, or on halyards and other lines to protect the shackles. Also great for preventing lines from going too far into a mast sheave. These balls can be drilled out for larger line diameters. The bright colors aid in identifying lines and are available in black, white, red, green, blue, orange, pink, and yellow colors. Three sizes of balls to choose from.

Waxed polyester twine on spools, perfect for whipping ends and seizing splices. Size 4 twine covers most applications. Use size 2 for smaller line, and size 8 in heavy-duty applications.
