Clamcleat CL259 Racing Fine Line Port Cleats for 3–6 mm Rope, Silver or Hard Anodised, with Optional Backplate / Rivets
Clamcleat CL259 Racing Fine Line is a low-profile aluminium cleat designed for ropes from 3 to 6 mm (1/8–1/4").
The tooth design provides quick, positive rope locking while allowing smooth release. Its compact profile is suitable for high-load control applications and installations where low bulk is important.
The CL259 is commonly used for leech line adjustment on larger sails and is typically fitted on the starboard side for this application. It can also be used as a low-profile deck cleat on dinghies, for rudder downhauls and in industrial blind systems.
The cleat can be mounted in two positions and can be sewn or riveted onto sails and technical fabrics. When riveting to fabric, a matching backplate is recommended to help prevent rivet pull-through.
The range includes silver stove-enamel and hard-anodised versions, with selected variants supplied with a backplate or with both backplate and rivets.
