The Clamcleat® CL273 Racing Sail Line cleat (Starboard) has a tooth design allows a quick, positive lock that is easy to release. Add to this its low profile and ability to hold high loads, makes it ideal for tensioning leech line on larger sails. The integrated rope guide also make it suitable for adjusting & securing reefing points. Also use as a low profile deck cleat and for tensioning tramploenes on dinghies and catamarans. Manufactured from aluminium for light weight and durable performance it can be mounted in two positions. The CL273 has a silver stove enamel finish for a cost effective, high quality finish. The CL273AN has a hard anodised finish to give the ultimate hard wearing surface. The Port version of this cleat is CL241. The nylon version of the CL273 is the CL283. Use a backplate when riveting a cleat onto fabric as it will prevent the rivet pulling through. (Note that alloy cleats should be sewn onto carbon fibre sails, to avoid corrosion.)
