Annapolis Performance Sailing (APS) - EquipLite Non-Swiveling, Low-Load (NSM) Connectors

EquipLite Non-Swiveling, Low-Load (NSM) Connectors

The EquipLite Non-Swiveling, Low-Load (NSM) Connectors boast a weight savings of approximately 70% - 80% over traditional stainless shackles. The softer materials used result in less damage to masts, spinnaker tracks, decks, etc. when flogging during tacks or pre-start.

These connectors are easy and quick to attach; they are ideal for jib sheets, spinnaker sheets and lower load halyards (spinnaker, topping lifts, etc.). These are for use with covered lines only.
