The Clamcleat® CL211 Mk2 is a neat, compact alloy cleat with many uses for sailing, kitesurfing, sports equipment and industrial applications. Manufactured from aluminium for light weight and durable performance. Ideal for halyards & control lines on dinghies & kayaks. Can also be used on sports nets.
The fairlead guides the rope into the cleat, which can be fitted to all curved and flat surfaces. Using a CL819 Tapered Pad allows the CL211 Mk2 to be fitted at an angle, which allows tensioning without rubbing the rope over the teeth. Fitting a CL815 Keeper and CL817 Cage extends the versatility of this cleat.
Use for land fill covers:
To stop covers moving, the surface is buried deep and ropes led up through holes in the sheeting. By bolting a CL211 Mk2 cleat and CL815 Keeper to a steel plate, you can hold the ropes securely. It is easy to tension the rope when installing the membrane and also to re-tension as the landfill settles over time.
Use for windsurfing:
The CL211 Mk2 is being used on a windsurfing boom (X-Booms) to tension the outhaul. The fairlead guides the rope into the cleat, which can be fitted to all curved and flat surfaces.
Also, the CL211 Mk2 can be cut down and being used on the tail of a wave boom, see here.
Available in two finishes:
- CL211MK2 has a silver stove enamel finish for a cost effective, high quality coating.
- CL211MK2AN has a hard anodised finish to give a hard wearing surface.
If you need a becket to fix the end of a rope, look at CL211 Mk2/S2
To keep the rope in or out of the cleat, fit a CL815 Keeper
You can also fit a CL817 Cage to provide a rear fairlead
Use the CL818 Tapered Pad to aid rope alignment by tilting the cleat at an angle.
The CL826-11 is an aero cleat with CL211 Mk2, so you can rig in mid-air.
The CL829-11 is another aero cleat, fitted with CL211 Mk2 for rigging in mid-air.
For riveting the CL211 Mk2, we can supply long mandrel rivets.
The CL825CKC is a complete unit with two CL211 Mk2, fitted on a tapered base, complete with Keepers and Cages.
To replace some cams, you can fit the CL830CKC, which is a side-mount Cage with CL211 Mk2 and CL815 Keeper, fully assembled.
An in-line assembly is the CL832CKC, with CL211 Mk2 cleat, CL815 Keeper & CL817 Cage.
A similar cleat, with fixing holes at each end, is the CL211 Mk1.
To hold smaller ropes, look at the CL268 for 4mm ropes.

Q: Is there something to automatically guide the rope into the Clamcleat® CL211MK2 cleat?
Ans: The cage CL817 will automatically guide the rope into the teeth of the Clamcleat® CL211MK2 cleat.
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: What is the best way to fix an aluminum cleat into a carbon fiber spar?
Ans: You need to create a barrier between the aluminum cleat and the carbon fiber surface to stop electrolytic de-composition. The barrier can be created by cutting a thin shim of plastic to the shape of the cleat and drill the fixing holes (the retail card the cleat is sold on is ideal to use as the shim), also use aa inhibitor or anti corrosive jointing compound such as Duralac on the fixing.
Q: Do you need to put a barrier between the Aluminum cleat and the stainless-steel fixing?
Ans: You need to add a inhibitor or barrier compound between the fixings, the Aluminum cleat and the mast or boom. For example, Daralac anti corrosive jointing compound.
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: Can I fit my cleats using pop rivets?
Ans: Using pop rivets to fit your cleat is a tidy quick way of securing the cleat. Ensure the pop rivet is at 90 degrees to the cleat when fixing and with certain smaller cleats the head of the pop rivet gun will not sit onto the pop rivet when in place so you will require to add a spacer between the gun and the rivet.
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: What is the largest cleat Clamcleat make?
Ans: The CL220 is the largest cleat in the Clamcleat® range and is designed for a rope from 12-16mm 3/8 to 5/8”.
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.
