Clamcleat CL257 - Auto-Release Racing Mini

The Clamcleat CL257 - Auto-Release Racing Mini is designed to ensure your rudder blade remains intact and protected while sailing. Ideal for use with ropes ranging from 4-6 mm in diameter, this cleat is perfect for racing boats that require quick release and retraction capabilities under load.

With dimensions of 68x24 mm and a center-to-center (C.t.C.) distance of 36 mm, the CL257 is compact and efficient. It features a slit stop design that securely holds the rope, yet will automatically release when overloaded, allowing your rudder blade to retract when encountering an obstruction in the water.

Adjust the cam until the rudder blade is securely held down during maximum sailing conditions, but releases smoothly when needed to avoid damage from impact with obstacles.

In addition to protecting rudder blades, the CL257 is also versatile enough to be used for securing and protecting center boards, making it a must-have for any racing or sailing enthusiast looking for reliable protection for their boat’s components.
