Wichard Stainless Steel Hardware

Wichard has been the hardware sailing specialist for the last 30 years. Whether you are a cruiser, racer, in big and in small boats, the brand produces reliable hardware which will exceed your expectations.

Forged shackles and fittings 

On a sailing yacht, stainless steel fittings need to provide both mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. To ensure the safety of crew members, fittings such as shackles and snap hooks must also withstand fatigue, which means withstanding repeated forces, to avoid sudden breakage.

Forging has all these advantages! By heating the stainless steel without melting it, it helps to preserve the homogeneous structure of the metal. It also prevents the entry of impurities (foreign waste particles) and air bubbles. In addition it allows relatively compact parts to be produced.

These blocks are perfect for taking on the heavy loads. The unique becket feature is there to create a purchase. It helps to prevent excessive rope wear. The MXEvo block by Wichard comes in two versions:

- With a captive pin and is used for static lines such as flying sail furler terminal and a 2:1 mainsail halyard.
- With an allen head pin, specifically designed for Mast-foot fairleads, running backstays and all other applications that are not handled frequently.

Wichard Anchor chain grip


When your boat has an all-chain rode, an anchor snubber is essential. The snubber line takes the load off the windlass. Especially in lively conditions, it's not a good idea to have all shock loads handled by the anchor winch. Wichard's anchor chain hook is great to make a snubber line. When at anchor, it is good to release the load of the anchor chain with a snubber line. A snubber line is made by splicing a Wichard anchor hook to our Dockline. Whether you want to have a single snubber line or a bridle one, is a personal choice and depends on your boat type.
