Details

The Clamcleat® CL828-70 alloy Micros Aero cleat has a becket for rigging with a 4:1 ratio. This version of the smallest Aero cleat is strong, compact and wear resistant. The CL828 Aero base is fitted with the CL270 aluminium Micros cleat.

The becket under the cleat allows rigging with a 4:1 advantage. Rig with one of our PT5110 Titanium rings for standing rigging, where you do not need continuous adjustment. Rig with 2 of out PT5107 titanium thimbles for running rigging, when you need to adjust the rope tension when sailing. It is simple to rig and adjust. The position of the cleat on the rope can be adjusted by hand - no tools required.

Ideal for tents, sports netting, canvas structures, sun sails, tie-downs, radio masts and aerials. This cleat can be used also for fitness equipment to adjust the step height.

The CL828-70 is race legal for tensioning the forestay on the Mirror dinghy. Rig as shown in the photo and use a CL262 to increase your pulling power and get the forestay really tight.

If you only need a 2:1 ratio, look at CL828-68 without a becket.
The CL827-77 has an open fairlead, for quick de-rigging.
CL270 is the cleat on its own.
CL826-11/S2 is a similar cleat for larger 3-6mm ropes.
CL260 is a different way of rigging with 2-5mm rope.

Q: What size of rope should I use on my CL828-70 cleat?

Ans: The size of rope used on the CL828-70 is from 3 to 4mm.

Q: What is an Aero cleat?

Ans: The Aero cleat allows the cleat to be positioned and adjusted along the rope easily and will accept a variety of cleats.

Q: What size of Aero cleats are available?

Ans: The CL828 range of Aero cleats use 3-4mm rope and the CL826, CL827 and CL828 range use 4-6mm rope.

Q: Why does Clamcleat® not publish safe working loads (SWL) or break loads for its cleats?

Ans: The quality, type and style of the rope or cord plays a major role in the performance of the cleat. Normally the better the quality of the rope the greater holding power, also some cleats are designed to slip once they exceed the desired holding load as a safety feature including securing fabrics such as sunshades or covers.

Q: Do you get a better performance with an Aluminum cleat?

Ans: Aluminum cleats do not improve the performance of the cleat, but they can achieve higher holding loads and they also might improve the lifespan of the cleat especially if the rope will be in contact with the teeth whilst the rope is being pulled through during adjustment.

Q: What different coating are there for the Aluminum cleats?

Ans: The standard coating for the cleat is a Stoving Aluminum silver enamel coating. For extra protection from corrosion and a high-tech appearance the cleats are also available in a dark grey Hard anodized finish. The part no in suffixed with “AN” to identify the hard anodized finish.

Q: How long should an Aluminum cleat last?

Ans: This really depends on the usage, the quality and age of the rope used etc. so is very difficult to gauge. The ultraviolet rays will discolor the cleats over time and in very sunny climates may affect the life of the cleat. In extreme climates the life expectancy should be 10 -15 years depending on usage and in more moderate climate 20 + years.

Q: What type of rope or cord will give the best performance on my cleats?

Ans: In our experience a braided good quality rope gives you the best holding performance.

Q: Is there any maintenance required to a cleat to keep it performing well?

Ans: We would recommend flushing the with fresh water as often are you can.
