Description
Swivel cleat bases permit easy cleating and releasing from any angle. Height adjustable arm for optimum cleating angle. Twin ball bearing race minimises friction. Adjustable ratchet system prevents the arm from falling to leeward. Twin rows of ball bearings support the cleat arm, and stops are provided to limit rotation to 260°.
The rotation stop on the cleat arm moulded cleat arm cradle part can be cut off to allow full 360° rotation. Swivel fork has a 5mm and 11.8mm (9/16") gap to permit direct, low profile attachment to the head post of a block (i.e. not using the shackle).
