CL241 and CL273 provide ideal solution to new 420 rule

Mike Wood a well-respected British sailor in the 420 class, has reacted quickly to the new class rules issued this year and fitted a CL273AN to his foredeck. The 4mm diameter excel racing rope is held perfectly by the cleat. The CL273 has a low profile and is light weight; you could also consider using a CL241 depending which side you wish to cleat and uncleat. Extract from rules D.4.2.3 (m) Headsail tack adjustment system, consisting of a shackle on the stemhead fitting, one cleat without moving parts mounted on the foredeck, one fairlead directly behind the cleat and a single piece of rope.
