Clamcleat ® CL257 Auto Release Cleat for Rudders

The cleat flips up to release the rope when a set load is exceeded. Easily re-set or adjusted for different release loads, even out on the water. Ideal for rudders on dinghies. Features countersunk fixing holes.

 

Simply pull the rope back at an angle and it is guided down into the teeth, as shown in the sketches below. The stainless steel rear fairlead provides a long life under racing conditions.
