The tooth design of the CL259 Racing Fine Line (Port) 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. Also used for industrial sun blinds and as a low profile deck cleat.
Manufactured from aluminium for light weight and durable performance the CL259 is available in two finishes:
1. CL259 has a silver st enamel finish for a cost effective, high quality coating.
2. CL259AN 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.)
The nylon version of this cleat is CL214W. For the other side of a sail please look at CL258.
