Tylaska Marine Hardware

SB - Standard Bails
provide ample room for attaching a line while keeping weight and overall shackle length to a minimum. Ideal for halyards and sheets.

LB - Large Bails
provide room for up to three additional shackles or a combination of shackles and lines. Ideal for spinnaker sheets, guys or other multi-line applications.

CB - Clevis Bails
do not require splicing and provide moveable attachments to rings, deck fittings, furlers, rolling furlers, etc. Ideal for many uses.

Tylaska shackles are also available as a stock item joined together at the bails. This arrangement is ideal for temporarily holding the guy during a running spinnaker change or “peel” as it is sometimes called. Using an elaborate molding technique, Tylaska casts the two bails linked together as one unit, eliminating weakness from cutting and welding as is normally done by the competition. Two Tylaska trigger shackles are then fitted to the linked bail to produce a “peeling strop” or “handcuffs” as they are often nicknamed. Other configurations available upon request including welded ring versions and individual linked bails.

Every unit is pull tested and released under several different load conditions before shipping.
