Clamcleat CL259AN

The tooth design of the CL259 Racing Fine Line (Port) allows a quick, positive lock that is easy to release. Add this to its low profile and ability to hold high loads, makes it an ideal cleat for adjusting leech lines on larger sails. Use a backplate when riveting a cleat onto fabric to prevent the rivet pulling through. It can be mounted in two positions and can be sewn or riveted to the sail.  The CL259 is usually ftted to the Starboard side of a sail, when used for tensioning leech lines. See the fitting diagrams above.

Also used for industrial sun blinds.  On sailing dinghies it is used as a low profile deck cleat and for rudder downhauls.

CL259AN has a hard anodised finish to give the ultimate hard wearing surface. (Note that alloy cleats should be sewn onto carbon fibre sails, to avoid corrosion.)
