Sailboat clamcleat CL268

with guidealuminum

A small neat, lightweight, strong, alloy cleat with a fairlead. Advanced tooth technology to hold all types of small rope. Applications include Canoes (seat & rudder lines); Dinghy control lines; Kitesurfing (5th line adjustment). Manufactured from aluminium for light weight and durable performance the CL268 is available in two finishes: 1. CL268 has a silver stove enamel finish for a cost effective, high quality coating. Suitable for all inland and most coastal kiting. 2. CL268AN has a hard anodised finish to give the ultimate hard wearing surface. Excellent for extreme coastal conditions. To prevent any corrosion when fitting the CL268 to carbon fibre tubes, use a barrier compound, or our PT425 + PT425 insulators. For lighter loads, consider the nylon version - CL263. The CL270 is a version with a becket for holding the end of a rope (or rigging with a 4:1 ratio). If you want a side-entry fairlead, look at the CL277 (open on right side) and CL278 (open on left side). Using a CL823 Tapered Pad to angle the cleat can aid rope alignment. CL828-68 is a CL268 that can be rigged on a rope. A larger version of the CL268 is the CL211 Mk2.
