The Dyneema Light Loops allow the replacement of any shackle with a subsequent weight reduction of more than 85%. Application to toe-rails, eyebolts/padeyes or bollards without damage. Very useful for coupling the traveller onto main sheets or genoa sheets. They can be used as points of connection on the spinnaker pole for the foreguy or toplift. The Loops can be built directly onto snap-shackles or eybolts/padeyes; and they can be custom built in order to obtain an optimal enter angle on winches. They allow a 180° rotation of the angle on some accessories (ex. Main halyard 2:1) or a 360° orientation. Good handling and suppleness, no scratches, no crushing, no rust.
