New accessories for Clamcleats Limited’s rope cleats will provide better performance and greater capability for the company’s most popular products. The first accessories in the range are the Keeper and Tapered Mounting Pad, both of which are available in two sizes.
The Keeper is a real innovation and has a patent pending. The Keeper has been designed to overcome the problem of lines being cleated accidentally as well as improving performance by holding lightly-loaded lines in the jaws of a cleat. It completely transforms the operation and performance of a cleat. When using a cleat fitted with a Keeper, there is a satisfying and positive click as the line is released or cleated. The lead-in makes cleating a line easier. These benefits mean that Clamcleat® rope cleats can now be used on control lines that are adjusted frequently.
When a halyard or control line is released from a cleat fitted with a Keeper, the Keeper will stop it falling back into the cleat and re-cleating, for example when dropping a spinnaker during a race or the mainsail when unrigging ashore.
These accessories expand the capability of conventional Clamcleat® rope cleats while retaining the important advantage of not having any moving parts to jam or seize. They are also excellent value for money. The new products have been designed and developed using the latest computer-aided design and modelling techniques and have been tested extensively on a range of racing dinghies from the International Moth to the Flying Dutchmen.
The Tapered Mounting Pads can be used to mount a chosen cleat at the optimum angle for the most efficient use. Each CL818 or CL 819 Tapered Pad is packaged with angled under-deck pads to spread the load and provide support when fitting a Pad to a thin deck.
Both products are available in sizes to suit the most popular Clamcleat® rope cleats including the CL211 Mk1, CL203 Junior, CL236 Racing Junior with roller fairlead and Mk2 Racing Junior and can be retro-fitted easily. Keeper catalogue numbers are CL814 and CL815.
