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 below. The stainless steel rear fairlead provides a long life under racing conditions.
The CL817 Cage is used with the CL815 Keeper and CL211 Mk2 cleat.
The CL211 Mk2 cleat is avialable separately.
The CL815 Keeper is also available separately.
Use a CL819 Tapered Pad can aid rope alignment.
The whole assembly of CL211 Mk2 cleat + CL815 Keeper + CL817 Cage is CL832CKC.
CL825CKC has 2 assemblies, designed to replace on cleat with two, without having to drill any extra holes.
CL833CKC is a slightly larger assembly of CL211 Mk1 cleat + CL814 Keeper + CL816 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.
