Print Profile(3)
Description
Compact and resistant accessory designed for nautical applications, ideal for making soft shackles or as a rope stopper.
This dogbone is designed to offer a perfect balance between lightness and strength, thanks to its optimized geometry that distributes the load without weakening the rope. The shape with multiple grooves allows the cordage to adapt naturally, avoiding stress points and improving safety during use.
The raised edges between the grooves help keep the rope in place, reducing the risk of slipping even under load.
Perfect for:
- DIY soft shackles
- Quick connections between ropes
- Lightweight systems instead of metal shackles
- Applications on dinghies, catamarans, and racing boats
⚙️ Features
- Optimized design to maintain rope strength
- Compact and lightweight structure
- Smooth surface to reduce cordage wear
- Option for attachment with safety leash
- Ideal for small/medium diameter ropes
📐 Notes
The design is inspired by real nautical components used in sailing, with particular attention to functionality and reliability even in demanding conditions.
