The Cage is an accessory that allows ropes to be cleated and uncleated at an angle of up to 70 degrees, rather than only in line with the cleat. Adding Cages to cleats fitted with Keepers will allow the helmsman or crew to adjust a control line from different positions quickly, easily, positively and without fear of accidental cleating.
Simply pull the rope back at an angle and it is guided down into the teeth, as shown in the sketches. The stainless steel rear fairlead provides a long life under racing conditions.
The CL816 cage is used with a CL814 keeper and these cleats.
CL203 nylon Junior.
CL236 alloy Roller fairlead Mk1 cleat.
CL211 Mk1 allloyRacing Junior. Look at CL833CKC for the whole assembly.
You can angle the CL816 using a CL818 Tapered Pad. This can aid rope alignment.
For through-deck applications, where the rope comes from below, look at the CL816/S1.
CL832CKC is a smaller version, with cleat, keeper & cage.
Q: Does Clamcleat® make accessories for the cleats?
Ans: Clamcleat® make a range of accessories for 3 sizes of fairlead cleat, CL268 and Mk2 range and the Mk1 range of cleats. The accessories are a tapered pad, Keeper (keeps the rope either in or out of the cleat) and the Cage (allows the rope to enter the cleat even if the lead angle is poor)
Q: What is a Clamcleat® keeper?
Ans: Clamcleat® make different sizes of keeper, CL815 for Mk2 cleats and CL814 for Mk1 cleats. The keeper, when the rope is outside stops the rope going into the cleat accidentally and when the rope is inside the cleat ensures the rope stays engaged even if the cleat is upside down. Simply pull the rope down to engage and up to release from the keeper.
Q: What is a Clamcleat® cage?
Ans: Clamcleat® make different sizes of cages, CL817 for Mk2 cleats and CL816 for Mk1 cleats. The cage allows the rope to enter the cleat automatically even if the lead into the cleat is not parallel.
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.
