Tylaska LT100 Light Air Snap Shackle
The Tylaska LT100 Light Air Snap Shackle is an ultra-lightweight, non-marking trigger snap shackle designed specifically for low-load applications and light wind sailing. Weighing just 29g and measuring 104mm in length, it is the ideal choice when reducing weight in your running rigging helps maximise light-air performance.
Based on the proven geometry of Tylaska’s renowned T12 Trigger Snap Shackle, the LT100 reformats this trusted design into a robust Delrin construction. The result is a lightweight, UV-resistant shackle that retains the smooth curves and clean lines of the original stainless model, helping to minimise fouling or snagging on sails and rigging.
As the name suggests, the LT100 is purpose-built for light air spinnaker sheets, where every gram counts. On drifting days, reducing sheet weight helps the sail fill more easily and stay flying in marginal conditions, keeping your yacht ghosting along when others are struggling. It delivers familiar Tylaska trigger-style operation in a format tailored for gentle loads rather than heavy working applications.
While it shares its design DNA with Tylaska’s world-renowned trigger snap shackles — known for smooth one-handed operation and strong resistance to accidental release from flogging, vibration or shock loads — the LT100 is strictly intended for light-duty use and should not be selected for high-load applications.
Available in three colour variants — Grey, Green and Red — the LT100 allows easy identification onboard, whether you are colour-coding spinnaker sheets, organising sail locker gear or simply matching existing deck systems.
Beyond light-air sailing, the LT100 has dozens of practical uses on and off the boat. Its non-metallic, non-marking construction makes it ideal for attaching fenders, securing boom tents, organising lightweight control lines, or other quick-release tasks. It is equally useful ashore for general-purpose applications where a lightweight, corrosion-free clip is preferred.
Compact, UV resistant and exceptionally light, the Tylaska LT100 Light Air Snap Shackle is a smart addition to any sailor’s kit — perfect for fine-tuning performance in drifting conditions and handling everyday low-load connections with Tylaska’s trusted design pedigree.
