The tooth design of the Clamcleat® CL258 Racing Fine Line (Starboard) 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 CL258 is usually ftted to the Port side of a sail, when used for tensioning leech lines. See the fitting diagrams above.
The CL258 is also used for industrial blinds and as a low profile deck cleat on dinghies.
Manufactured from aluminium for light weight and durable performance the CL258 is available in two finishes:
1. CL258 has a silver stove enamel finish for a cost effective, high quality coating.
2. CL258AN 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.)
