The D-Zero by Devoti is a single-handed, lightweight 4.2m dinghy. It uses our CL828-68AN Aerocleat to adjust its toe strap from the dagger plate housing, making adjustments easier without shifting your weight too far aft

The Clamcleat® CL290 Titanium Trapeze cleat and handle are designed for the ultimate pro sailors. Made from Titanium Ti-6Al-4V with no moving parts. This aerodynamic, lightweight trapeze cleat weighs only 24g and is 53mm in length, reducing its size and weight by nearly 50% compared to conventional trapeze cleats. Designed for use with composite trapeze lines, the top section halo ring design allows for extra grip, so sailors with strong hands may not need the blue low-profile aerodynamic handle. Handles are available for sailors who require extra surface area to achieve a 2-finger grip for constant adjustment. The airflow across the side of the cleat when trapezing and the airflow across the back of the cleat on the leeward side are also very important and were critical parts of the design.

A semi-buried recycling bag system is a type of waste container where a large bag is housed inside an underground or semi-underground column. These systems, also known as deep collection containers, save space by using the ground for natural compaction and temperature stability, which reduces odours and prevents freezing. The waste is emptied using a lifting device like a crane, which hoists the heavy-duty bag out of the ground. This rope is specially designed for strength, low friction, and abrasion resistance. Overall length 8.1 - 8.15 meters (26 ft). Diameter 10mm (3/8"). 3 strand core with an eight plait braided cover and will now take double the load. The spliced eye has a protective sleeve and is the correct size for use with our PT406 loop. The PT414-9 is a perfect fit for our CL279 cleat and works well in all 3 tubes we supply. The other components of the system include Clamcleat® CL279 cleat, PT406 loop, and either PT413-1, PT416-1, or PT417-1 tube which allows the bag to be removed from the ground when full and emptied into the lorry easily.

The Azimut 68 from Azimut/Benetti Group, made in Italy, uses the CL203 and the Keeper CL814 on the foredeck sun sail shade system. The cleats are used to tension the sunshade sail between the four carbon fiber poles. Once the system is in place, simply tension by pulling down the lines through the CL203 cleats.

The CL211 Mk2AN can be used with the CL815 keeper which allows the rope to run freely when out of the cleat and keeps it engaged when the rope is engaged . Ideal for spinnaker halyards and applications when you have a fast hoist or drop. For more information visit clamcleat.com.

Enchanted Bell Tents contacted us recently because they were having problems maintaining the tension on their glamping tent guylines when using traditional wooden bars. The 80 tents which are rented out normally between 2 to 7 days at a time, required regular visits to the venue to ensure the guylines were tensioned. We recommended the CL276 in white for 3-6mm guyline, which resolved their issue immediately as the Line-lok® are very easy to rig and secure, holding the tension permanently. The Line-lok® are also available in six standard colours, maintaining the luxury feel they wanted. The Line-lok® cleats come in four sizes: CL266 for 1-3mm guyline, CL260 for 2-5mm, CL276 for 3-6mm, and CL271 for 4-8mm. All are available in black, white, NATO green, light grey, khaki, and glow-in-the-dark.

The Chok-A-Blok™ CAB35 and CAB50 strap guards from Clamcleats Ltd protect both the boat and the webbing strap when strapping down your boat. They safeguard delicate surfaces like varnished wood and gel coat when loaded onto trailers or trucks. Key features include holding all types of webbing strap, CAB35 from 25-35mm (1" - 1 1/2") wide and CAB50 from 35-50mm (1 1/2" - 2"). They clip easily onto the webbing strap, are lightweight and stay in place during strap positioning. They can slide along the strap to the point of contact and additional units can be added to extend coverage. The foam's closed cell structure resists solid debris, is easy to clean and avoids damage to gel coats and varnish. The foam does not soak up moisture, preventing water marks on polished surfaces. As tension is applied to the strap, frictional damage to the cargo surface is eliminated because the strap slips easily across the polypropylene top surface. The clips hold the Chok-A-Blok™ onto the webbing, so it stays in place and can be left on loose strapping without getting lost.
