This auto-release cleat holds down ropes securely, yet will release them immediately when the cleat is overloaded. Once tripped, it can easily be reset in seconds just by pushing the cleat back down into its base.
Thanks to an adjustable cam, the release tension can be set to suit the boat and local conditions. The cam is adjusted until the rudder blade is held down reliably under maximum sailing conditions. The cleat will then be set so that the least strain is put on the rudder if it were to hit an obstacle.
Can be fitted to virtually all lifting tillers and can also be used to protect centre boards.
