A splice may become jammed in the mast's halyard exit block when sail is at full hoist. The mast manufacture recommends a bowline knot to secure the shackle to the line.

If so desired, we can supply a splice with this line. We splice the eye by hand to the shackle you select at the time you place the order or one you provide to us. The shackle is not included in the halyard price, so make sure that if you need a closed type shackle spliced to the halyard, that you order the shackle you want on the same order. Please note in the comments section at checkout which shackle, by part number, to use.

If you already have a closed type shackle you want to use, please contact our sales staff for instructions on how and where to send it.

1) The length of this item is based on the original factory specifications. However, the previous owner, like Captain Jack Sparrow, may have had an entirely different idea about how to rig a boat! Please confirm this is the correct length for your particular boat. We cut it from a long length and can't splice it back together again. Your order cannot be canceled, returned or exchanged, but, like Jack, you may have a different idea of what you can use it for!

2) If you popt for a spliced eye, we splice the eye by hand to the shackle you select at the time you order.
