14mm x 200mm SK99 Dyneema Covered Soft Shackle
The 14mm x 200mm SK99 Dyneema Covered Soft Shackle shows off the top end in terms of soft shackles. It is the result of combining a top-end splicing team with the best fibres and cordage available on the market. The result is a soft shackle that can outperform any other soft shackle in terms of both strength and wear resistance. These soft shackles are built for situations where other soft shackles would not cope or where size and weight are of primary concern.
The core of these soft shackles features Armare’s top-end SK99 Dyneforce Shield Dyneema braid, which offers the highest strength of any rope available on the market. This fibre offers around a 20% strength increase over standard SK78 Dyneema. In combination with this is the Armare Pure Black Dyneema wear sleeve, which offers exceptional wear resistance while looking rather good on the eyes.
We have seen great use of these soft shackles, especially on yachts and superyachts for use in towlines as a replacement for stainless steel fittings and where there is limited space and weight is a concern. However, their use extends far beyond towlines and they are great wherever ultimate strength and wear resistance are needed.
These soft shackles are all custom-made to specification, with other internal lengths, diameters, and fibres available. If you are interested in getting your hands on these top-end soft shackles, contact us for more information and to get them catered to what you need!
