Tutorial

See it in action

How to connect a Soft Shackle to a low friction ring, step by step.

The system

Soft Shackle + Olli™ ring: how it works

A shackle that opens with two fingers and locks itself under load: hook up rings, blocks, sheets and chains without a gram of metal.

01

Open

Slide back the velcro strap and slip the diamond knot out of the eye: the shackle is open.

02

Pass

Pass it through the Olli™ ring and around your attachment point: pad eye, head board, chain link, block.

03

Lock

Seat the knot back into the eye and close the velcro over it: locked, silent, metal-free.

Connected with an Olli™ ringThe openable soft attachment: move the connection wherever you need it.
Velcro strap for closureKeeps the knot seated in any conditions: no accidental openings.

Applications

One shackle, a thousand hookups

Anywhere you need to hook up and release fast: light, silent, unsinkable.

Blocks in a snap

Attach and move blocks on pad eyes and tracks in seconds, no pins to screw.

Sheets to the clew

Genoa and gennaker sheets on the clew: light, kind to your sails, no metal flogging around.

Halyards to the head

Attach the halyard to the sail head: no mast rattle, no scratches.

Snubber to the chain

Attach the snubber line to the anchor chain: unlike a hook, it never falls off.

Low friction rings

The soft, repositionable attachment for Olli™ rings: the turning point goes where you need it.

Quick-release ties

Preventers, ties and tack pendants you open and close often.

Securing gear

Fenders, jerry cans, sail covers, life ring: lashed tight, released fast.

Goodbye metal shackles

Anywhere you'd use a metal shackle: lighter, rust-free, scratch-free, and it floats.

Soft hanks

Hank your storm jib onto a fiber stay with soft Dyneema® hanks.

Or get it pre-assembled

Loop, ring and line already spliced together for one job: open the box and rig it.
