CL257 Auto-Release Racing Mini - Rudder Cleat
Protect your rudder blade from accidental damage with the Clamcleat® CL257 Auto-Release Racing Mini Rudder Cleat. Designed for lifting rudders and centreboards, it securely holds the control line under normal sailing loads but releases instantly if the rudder strikes the bottom or an underwater obstruction, helping to prevent costly damage to blades, stocks, and fittings.
The adjustable release cam allows the trigger load to be tailored to suit different boats and sailing conditions. Once activated, the cleat can be quickly reset by simply pushing it back into its base, ensuring minimal disruption while afloat.
Key Features:
- Auto-release function helps protect rudders and centreboards
- Instantly releases under overload
- Adjustable release tension to suit different applications
- Secure rope holding under normal loads
- Quick and easy reset after activation
- Compatible with most lifting rudder systems
- Suitable for rudder and centreboard protection
- Supplied with fitting instructions
- Lightweight, reliable, and easy to install
Compatibility & Accessories:
- CL257UG Replacement Cam Kit
- CL222 Standard Cleat (same size)
- CL211 Mk2 recommended where a fairlead is required
The CL257 can be rigged in a variety of configurations, including 2:1 purchase systems, depending on rope size and installation requirements.
