Clamcleat CL218 Mk1 Side Entry Cleat – Port
Quick, secure, and easy-to-use rope control. The Clamcleat® CL218 Mk1 Side Entry Cleat – Port features a unique side-entry fairlead that allows lines to be quickly hooked into the cleat for secure holding and easily removed when needed.
Ideal for use as a reaching hook or in applications requiring quick line engagement and release, the CL218 Mk1 provides reliable performance in a compact, durable design. Its versatile mounting options make it particularly useful for dinghy sailing and spar-mounted control systems.
