Soft shackles

I've ordered a number of these in recent weeks. Initially, they were standard sizes from stock but, more recently, I've needed some bespoke sizes. Jason at Sailing Chandlery has been brilliant, fabricating these latter orders and despatching them within 24 hours.

Thank you Charles for your kind words on our soft shackles.

Sheets and splicing

The eye splices and dogbones are fine but I was a bit surprised that I only got one sheet with dogbones on each end. I ordered two 6mm and two 8mm sheets but both were not cut. I expected them to be at least hot knifed - maybe whipped at the other end. I can get that done but shouldn’t have had to.

Dog bone order

Great product and service but the P&P was excessive for such a small item that would fit in a tiny envelope.
