Work has started on the site development at Clamcleats Ltd HQ in Welwyn Garden City. This structure will increase our footprint by 20% and allow us to streamline our production and storage facility, giving an extra 25% of usable production space. Our production lines will not be affected during construction and we are hoping to have the work completed by the end of September 2022.

We have just launched our CL281 (port) and CL283 (starboard) low profile nylon leech cleat for use in sail making or when a low profile cleat is required.
Both cleats are produced in nylon for 2-5mm rope, available in black or white and are designed as a lightweight (10gms) alternative to our aluminium cleats CL241 and CL273.
They are available on retail cards or bulk packed with backing plate and rivets if required.

The walls and roof are now completed for our new 3000 m2 purpose built moulding facility in Costa Rica. The fit out phase will start in the next few days and we are hoping to be up and running by the end of August 2022.
By adding a PT5107 Titanium thimble into the adjuster rope between the toe strap and C828-68AN Aero cleat and reeving your system as shown in the above diagram you can double the tension load you can apply onto the toe strap adjuster system and improve the tensioning pull position when afloat. This is fully race legal as you are only using one piece of rope to tension the toe strap. This set up would be ideal for many other racing dinghies, please check your class rules. For more information on the Toe strap adjuster system please click on the CL828-68 link.
