Made of AISI 316 stainless steel and offered with sandblasted finish, it is suitable for nautical applications where materials appropriate for the marine environment are required. The product is identified by the Quick code FYGAL0810XP0A00.

Features and construction details

Material: stainless steel AISI 316

The joint is made of AISI 316 stainless steel, a typical choice for deck components and accessories intended for use at sea. The use of this material meets the durability and reliability requirements demanded in the nautical field, where exposure to moisture and salt is constant.

Sandblasted finish

The sandblasted finish gives the joint a technical and uniform appearance, consistent with installation on anchoring systems and the aesthetics of bow accessories. The finish is suitable for those who want a component with a clean and professional look.

Function: chain-anchor connection

This joint is designed to securely connect the chain to the anchor during mooring. In an anchoring system, the connection point between chain and anchor is crucial: a proper connection helps maintain an orderly pull line and reduces issues during maneuvers and retrieval.

Usage compatibility: Olympic anchors

The product is intended for use in combination with the’Olympic anchor. In the manufacturer's description, it is indicated as stainless steel joint for Olympic anchors and the indication is given for anchors from the 7 and 10 kg.

Self-righting system

The joint includes a self-righting system, designed to support the lifting phase and facilitate the recovery of the anchor in a correct position. This feature is particularly useful when a more linear management of the ascent is desired, reducing the need for manual interventions or corrections during recovery.

Typical onboard applications

The Quick joint for Olympic anchors is used in various nautical contexts, especially when optimizing the connection between anchor and chain and making the movement through the bow area smoother.

Mooring and anchoring

• Connection between chain and anchor in anchoring systems with Olympic anchor.
• Use during lowering and lifting, maneuvers, with attention to the correct arrangement of the connection.

Passage through the bow roller

The shackle is described as an element that facilitates the ascent of the chain and anchor through the bow roller, helping to avoid the typical problems related to shackle jamming. In practice, the goal is to make the transit of the anchor-chain group smoother in the bow area, where geometries and encumbrances can create critical points.

Operational advantages

More orderly management of the connection

A dedicated shackle allows for a connection consistent with the geometry of the Olympic anchor, aiming to maintain a more regular alignment during maneuvers. This can translate into greater ease of use in repeated anchoring operations.

Support for ascent and reduction of jams

The manufacturer's description highlights the function of facilitate climbing through the bow roller, avoiding the typical shackle jamming problems. Onboard, reducing jams means making the maneuver smoother and more predictable, especially when operating in tight spaces at the bow.

Material suitable for the marine environment

The use of AISI 316 stainless steel is an important element for those looking for a component suitable for the nautical context. Combined with the sandblasted finish, the shackle integrates well with deck accessories and hardware designed to work under typical onboard conditions.

Usage and important notes

Recommended pairing

The shackle is suitable for use with Olympic anchor. For a correct choice, it is advisable to verify that the anchor falls within the indicated range (Olympic anchors from 7 and 10 kg) and that the configuration of your bow system (roller, passages, and encumbrances) is consistent with the installation.

Installation and checks

• Ensure that the shackle is correctly installed between chain and ancora, following the instructions of the anchor and accessory manufacturer.
• Periodically check the condition of the connection and the absence of abnormal play, especially after prolonged use or under demanding conditions.
• During retrieval, monitor the passage through the bow roller to ensure that the anchor-chain group passes without jams.
