Sailboat clamcleat CL253

with guidealuminum

The Sailor's preferred choice for adjusting dinghy trapeze lines. Also used for vangs & kicking straps; outhauls; small dinghy forestays. The CL253 offers a light weight and compact solution for adjustment where a quick, positive lock, that is easy to release, is required. A black "link" is supplied with each CL253. It makes releasing the rope a lot easier. For windsurfing, the CL253 can be used as part of a adjustable downhaul system.The cleat has an in-built pulley. Manufactured from aluminium for light weight and durable performance, two finishes are available: 1. CL253 has a silver stove enamel finish for a cost effective, high quality coating 2. CL253AN has a hard anodised finish to give a hard wearing surface. Helpful hints: - Use 16 plait rope for best results. - Waxing the rope can protect rigs from sand damage and revitalise a worn rig. - Use heat shrink covers or electrical tape to prevent potential snagging points.
