HARKEN 7mm LOUP Rigging Attachment, 3203

LOUP® soft attachments replace heavy stainless steel shackles on racing and cruising boats. Weight savings on large offshore boats can be as much as 91 kg (200 lb).

Strong and lightweight, LOUPS are constructed using multiple coils of tough Dyneema® with Spectra® cover— one of the most durable materials made. An annealing process ensures loads are equal on all coils. Colored tracers on the cover specify LOUP strength by indicating the number of Dyneema coils.

When fitting hardware, choose the LOUP that matches the attachment method shown in the chart. Custom-length LOUPS are also available.

Note: Special Order Only
