Ronstan Soft Shackle Size XL 12mm x 70mm made from SK98 Dyneema (UHMWPE) delivers a lightweight, metal-free connection for rigging and on-deck hardware. The primary benefit is high strength with low mass while removing corrosion, noise, and galvanic contact typical of metal shackles.

• Small-diameter Robline puller line for easy release after the shackle is loaded
• XG coating for improved UV stability and increased abrasion resistance
• 12mm rope diameter and 70mm loop length for common rigging and fittings
• Lightweight low-profile design reduces wear on sails, blocks, and deck fittings
• Metal-free alternative that resists corrosion in marine environments

This soft shackle addresses common problems such as corroded pins, jamming, and metal-on-line chafe by substituting a flexible UHMWPE link. Compared to steel or alloy shackles it is easier to stow, quieter under load, and less likely to damage chafe points. Use it for halyards, sheets, blocks, anchor attachments, and lashings where a soft link is appropriate for your load and safety requirements.

Manufactured by Ronstan (MPN DSH-12GRY) from SK98 Dyneema with an XG protective coating, the component is intended for marine use where UV and abrasion resistance are important. Inspect before use and follow Ronstan installation and load guidance to confirm compatibility with your rigging setup. Learn more about specifications and fit to ensure it meets your application.
