The Sailor's preferred choice for adjusting dinghy trapeze lines. Also used for vangs & kicking straps; outhauls and small dinghy forestays. The Clamcleat® CL253 offers a light weight and compact solution for rope adjustment where a quick, positive lock, that is easy to release, is required. Each Clamcleat® CL253 is supplied with a black "link" (PTLINK). This makes releasing the rope a lot easier. For windsurfing, the CL253 can be used as part of a adjustable downhaul system. The cleat has an in-built pulley. Manufactured from aluminium for light weight and durable performance, two finishes are available: 1. CL253 has a silver stove enamel finish for a cost effective, high quality coating 2. CL253AN has a hard anodised finish to give a hard wearing surface. Helpful hints: - Use 16 plait rope for best results. - Always use the supplied PTLINK for easier rope release. See rigging sketches on right. - Waxing the rope can protect rigs from sand damage and revitalise a worn rig. - Use heat shrink covers or electrical tape to prevent potential snagging points. It can be also used for: - Canvas structures - Theatre lighting
