Clamcleat-CL825CKC
The Clamcleat® CL825CKC allows users to add an extra cleat without drilling more holes. Just remove the CL211 Mk1 and fit the twin CL825CKC in its place. The hole centres the same and the tapered base is designed to take the same fastenings from CL211Mk1. Ideal for training and club use on Laser® dinghies. (This fitting is not Laser approved). Ideal when users want 2 cleats instead of one.
The Patented Clamcleat® Keeper diverts the rope away from the cleat teeth when rapid sail adjustment and release is required. Rear fairlead in the Cage allows rope to be cleated at angles up to 70º. Positive and audible click when rope is cleated. Excellent value when compared to alternative cleating methods.
Two finishes are available:
1. CL825CKC has 2 CL211 Mk2 cleats with a silver stove enamel finish for a cost effective, high quality coating, plus CL815 Keeper & CL817 Cage, all fixed to the tapered base.
2. CL825CKCAN has 2 CL211 Mk2AN cleats with a hard anodised finish to give a hard wearing surface, plus CL815 Keeper& CL817 Cage, all fixed to the tapered base.
If you just want one cleat, with keeper & Cage, see CL832CKC.
The cleat used is the aluminium CL211 Mk2.

Q: Does Clamcleat® sell a cleat, keeper and cage together?
Ans: Clamcleat® sell 3 different cleat assembles which include the cleat, keeper and cage. CL830CKC for Mk2 cleats side mounting fixing, CL832CKC for Mk2 cleats with inline fixing and CL825CKC twin cleat.
Q: Does Clamcleat® make accessories for the cleats?
Ans: Clamcleat® make a range of accessories for 3 sizes of fairlead cleat, CL268 and Mk2 range and the Mk1 range of cleats. The accessories are a tapered pad, Keeper (keeps the rope either in or out of the cleat) and the Cage (allows the rope to enter the cleat even if the lead angle is poor)
Q: What is a Clamcleat® keeper?
Ans: Clamcleat® make different sizes of keeper, CL815 for Mk2 cleats and CL814 for Mk1 cleats. The keeper, when the rope is outside stops the rope going into the cleat accidentally and when the rope is inside the cleat ensures the rope stays engaged even if the cleat is upside down. Simply pull the rope down to engage and up to release from the keeper.
Q: What is a Clamcleat® cage?
Ans: Clamcleat® make different sizes of cage, CL817 for Mk2 cleats and CL816 for Mk1 cleats. The cage automatically guides the rope into the cleat teeth even if the rope is not inline with the 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: 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.
