Clamcleat-CL230
The bottom roller of the Clamcleat® CL230 allows ropes to enter the cleat from below. Ideal for bringing a rope through a surface. Can also be rigged on a rope for 1:1 or 2:1 advantage.
CL230 is ideal for through-deck and through-mast applications. Images show it being used for Cunningham and Kicker controls on an International 14 dinghy. Also for tensioning the sunshade on yachts and powerboats, where the dark grey CL230AN looks good on carbon fibre poles. The CL824 Riser Pad can be used to raise CL230 so roller is above a surface. Allows a round hole to be drilled for the rope.
The CL230 can also be rigged on a rope. We recommend using a PT230SSE to aid rope release. For trapeze adjustment, with 4 or 5mm ropes, a CL834 handle can be fitted. (A lower cost alternative to the PT230SSE is PTLINK)
Available in two finishes:
- CL230 has a silver stove enamel finish for a cost effective, high quality coating.
- CL230AN has a hard anodised finish to give a harder wearing surface.
A nylon version also available for lower loads, see CL203/S2
To cut a smaller hole in the deck, the CL230 can be raised by using CL824 Riser Pad.
Fitting PT422&23 Insulators between cleat and carbon spars will prevent galvanic corrosion. When used with hard anodised cleats the insulators are almost invisible. Fitting 2 insulator pads under the CL230 also raises the roller enough to cut a round hole in the deck.
If rigging in mid-air, using a PR230SSE Rope Guide makes releasing the rope a lot easier.
Fitting a PTLINK does the same.
CL253 is an alloy cleat that also rigs on a rope.
CL211 Mk1 is a standard alloy deck cleat, without the bottomroller.

Q: What size of rope should I use on my CL230 cleat?
Ans: The size of rope used on the CL230 is from 3 to 6mm (1/8-1/4”).
Q: What Clamcleat® cleat can be used for a trapeze cleat?
Ans: The CL253 and CL230 cleats can be used as trapeze cleats.
Q: What is a roller cleat?
Ans: A roller cleat has an internal sheave within the cleat which allows the rope to enter the cleat from more obtuse angles from above or below the cleat.
Q: What accessories can be used with the CL230?
Ans: The CL834 trapeze cleat handle and the PT230SSE stainless steel eye can be used with the CL253 trapeze cleat.
Q: What power ration can be used with the Clamcleat® CL230 cleat?
Ans: The CL230 cleat can be used with a 1:1 or 2:1 power ratio.
Q: Why does Clamcleat® not publish safe working loads (SWL) or break loads for its cleats?
Ans: The quality, type and style of the rope or cord plays a major role in the performance of the cleat. Normally the better the quality of the rope the greater holding power, also some cleats are designed to slip once they exceed the desired holding load as a safety feature including securing fabrics such as sunshades or covers.
Q: Do you get a better performance with an Aluminum cleat?
Ans: Aluminum cleats do not improve the performance of the cleat, but they can achieve higher holding loads and they also might improve the lifespan of the cleat especially if the rope will be in contact with the teeth whilst the rope is being pulled through during adjustment.
Q: What different coating are there for the Aluminum cleats?
Ans: The standard coating for the cleat is a Stoving Aluminum silver enamel coating. For extra protection from corrosion and a high-tech appearance the cleats are also available in a dark grey Hard anodized finish. The part no in suffixed with “AN” to identify the hard anodized finish.
Q: How long should an Aluminum cleat last?
Ans: This really depends on the usage, the quality and age of the rope used etc. so is very difficult to gauge. The ultraviolet rays will discolor the cleats over time and in very sunny climates may affect the life of the cleat. In extreme climates the life expectancy should be 10 -15 years depending on usage and in more moderate climate 20 + years.
Q: What type of rope or cord will give the best performance on my cleats?
Ans: In our experience a braided good quality rope gives you the best holding performance.
Q: Is there any maintenance required to a cleat to keep it performing well?
Ans: We would recommend flushing the with fresh water as often are you can.
