Ronstan RF7220 Triggersnap Shackle 105mm – Series 200 Large Bail Snap Shackle
The Ronstan RF7220 Triggersnap Shackle (105mm) is a heavy-duty, high-performance trigger-release snap shackle designed for fast, secure attachment and release in demanding marine environments.
Part of Ronstan’s Series 200 range, this shackle features an innovative trigger-release mechanism, allowing quick one-handed operation for attaching and releasing lines, sheets, or hardware—even in high-load situations.
The RF7220 is built from heat-treated 15-5PH stainless steel, providing exceptional strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for offshore and high-load applications.
A key advantage is its ability to release under load using a trigger spike, ensuring safe and controlled disengagement when required—an essential feature for performance sailing and safety-critical systems.
The large swivel bail design allows for smooth articulation and alignment under load, reducing stress on rigging and improving overall efficiency.
With a maximum working load of approx. 1600kg (3530 lb) and breaking load of 3200kg (7060 lb), the RF7220 delivers outstanding strength-to-weight performance for serious sailing applications.
