Wichard 2-Hook Releasable Elastic Safety Tether

Description

Offshore sailing puts a genuine premium on gear that fails safely rather than gear that just looks strong, and this Wichard Releasable Elastic Tether with 2 Hooks does exactly that: it’s built with an overload indicator that follows OSR (World Sailing) recommendations, giving you a visible warning before a component actually gives way under load rather than snapping without notice.

One fluorescent double-action safety hook resists accidental release when you’re clipped in and moving around a heaving deck, paired with a quick-opening snap shackle for a fast disconnect the moment you actually need to get clear. The high-visibility fluorescent finish on the hook matters more than it might seem, confirming a solid connection at night or in rough weather shouldn’t take guesswork.

The elastic line stretches from 1 to 2 meters, keeping slack out of your way as you move fore and aft rather than dragging loose line across the deck. Both the safety snap hook and the webbing meet marine-grade standards, 316L stainless steel hardware paired with polyamide webbing that resists UV degradation and saltwater breakdown far better than a standard nylon strap.
