The term 'Cleats' covers a multitude of different configurations designed to grip, restrain and secure the load on a rope. This category covers those cleats that are used for quick grip and release in running rigging applications plus traditional shaped cleats for securing a line where adjustment is not the priority.
There are three main designs or concepts for Running Rigging Cleats:
Cam Cleats - This design is based on a pair of ribbed, spring-loaded cams that pinch together and won't let the rope through one way while allowing free movement in the opposite direction. The line can be tightened by pulling through the cleat and released when under load with a firm upward jerk.
Jam C leats - This design is based on a V shaped slot with fluted ribs to provide the grip. There are no moving parts. The jamming element secures the line in one direction and allows release by taking the tension off the cleat and lifting the line clear of the jaws. Clamcleats produce a wide range of jamming cleats for dinghy applications, but also for adjustable fender lanyards.
Roller Cam Cleats - This design works in a similar way to a rope clutch with vertical pressure applied via a single internal cam to grip the rope. The Spinlock version is very compact, efficient and ergonomic.
There is also the traditional shape and design: T or Horn Shape Cleats - These are typically used for e.g. flag halyard cleats, mast base halyard cleats positioned below a winch or clutch.
Cleats for Mooring or Anchoring feature separately.
Please note that Rope Clutches perform a similar function to jam and cam cleats.

Dear Readers
Chafe Protection for Dock Lines
- Sails, Rigging & Deck Gear
Most well-made cleats fit the bill, but beware.
In the 90s, the Boat US Foundation performed a study of deck cleat strength. Testing was performed using 6-inch cleats of a number of materials and designs, which were pulled from several directions. The standard vendor recommendation is 1/16-inch of line size for each inch of cleat, so these cleats are recommended for use with 3/8-inch line (breaking strength 4,200 pounds, working load limit 525 pounds). All but the nylon cleat had working load limits (assume 4:1 safety factor for metals) greater than nylon rope. Most were nearly as strong as the rope, but only two were stronger than the rope in all directions. We can expect strength to go up roughly as the square of size, roughly matching rope strength as we go. Only a few broken cleats were noted among the boats damaged by Hurricane Irma. More commonly, the cleats pulled out of the deck.
Obviously, cleats need a firm backing. A strong, well-engineered deck helps, but backing plates are essential (see How Big Does a Backing Plate Need to Be? PS August 2016).
Watch the angle formed when the line goes through the chock. You may not be able reduce the downward angle, but any pressure against sharp edges will weaken the line by 20 to 50 percent. Avoid sharp turns, which forces fibers on the outside of the turn to carry most of the load. Try to keep the runs straight, and pad the turns with heavy chafe gear.
Bottom line. Cleats and chocks must be sized for the required line size, which for storm-mooring a 35-foot yacht requires 7/8-inch line and 14-inch cleats. However, it is a rare 35-foot boat that has cleats over 10 inches. This is a challenge.
For the full report on cleat strength from the BoatUS Foundation, see https://www.boatus.org/findings/16/ .

- Cleats, Clutches & Jammers
Cleats | Cam Cleats | Clam Cleats | Rope Clutches | Jammers
Cleats appear in all shapes and sizes, all used in various locations on boat with the same purpose, securing the load on a rope.
Cleats Sometimes referred to a T cleats or Bollard Cleats. These are the traditional shaped cleat. Generally used for a flag halyard or for larger ropes when mooring up.
Cam Cleats Spring loaded cams pinch together, allowing rope to move freely one way and prevent it moving in the opposite direction. Allows for quick easy cleating, adjustments and a simple relase as well.
Clam Cleats Simple V shaped design with no moving parts. The V shaped slot has a ribbed finish to lock the rope in place when under load. A more compact option than a Cam Cleat they are popular fittings on Sailing Dinghys.
Rope Clutches & Jammers Both are generally operated with a lever arm, engaging or releasing a cam and gripping the rope. Like Cam Cleats they allow the rope to be pulled through in one direction, even when the lever is down and the clutch is activated.

Types of Cleats On A Sailboat
- July 18, 2023
Table of Contents
Cleats are essential fixtures on a sailboat used to secure lines (ropes) and control sail trim. They come in various designs and are strategically placed throughout the boat to provide convenient and secure attachment points. Here, I will describe the different types of cleats found on a sailboat in detail:
Sailboat Cleat Types
The horn cleat is the most common and recognizable type of cleat. It features one or more protruding horns or arms that provide multiple options for securing lines. The line is wrapped around the horns in a figure-eight pattern to create a secure hold. Horn cleats come in different sizes and are used for various applications throughout the boat, including halyards, sheets, and control lines.

Cam cleats are designed with a spring-loaded cam mechanism that clamps down on the line when it is under tension. The cam grips the line securely and holds it in place until released. Cam cleats are popular for applications where quick and easy adjustment is required, such as controlling jib or spinnaker sheets. They are commonly found on sailboats with high-performance or racing-oriented setups.
Recommended Cam Cleats:
Jam cleats, also known as jamming cleats or rope clutches, are designed to hold a line firmly under load. They feature a set of ridges or teeth that grip the line when it is tensioned. Jam cleats provide a secure hold and are often used for halyards, control lines, and other high-load applications. To release the line, it needs to be pulled at a specific angle to disengage the teeth.
Recommended Jam Cleats:
Clam cleats consist of two interlocking jaws that close around the line. As the line is pulled, the jaws grip it tightly, creating a secure hold. Clam cleats are often used for smaller lines, such as control lines on dinghies or small sailboats. They provide quick and easy adjustment and are commonly found on boats where weight and simplicity are crucial.
Recommended Clam Cleats:
Osculati Clamcleat
V cleats, as the name suggests, have a V-shaped groove that runs along the top surface of the cleat. The line is inserted into the groove, and the V-shaped design holds it securely in place. V cleats are primarily used for smaller-diameter lines or control lines. They are commonly found on dinghies and small sailboats where space and weight are at a premium.

Jammers are similar to jam cleats but offer a more sophisticated and mechanical gripping mechanism. They consist of one or more jaws that grip the line under tension using a cam or lever system. Jammers provide a strong and secure hold and are commonly used for halyards, control lines, and sheets on larger sailboats or racing-oriented setups.
Recommended Jammers:
Spinlock Mobile Jammer for securing Loaded Lines 10-14mm
Rope Clutch
Rope clutches are heavy-duty cleats often used on larger sailboats. They consist of multiple jaws or disks that can be engaged or disengaged to secure or release a line. Rope clutches are designed to handle high loads and are commonly used for controlling halyards, sheets, and other lines that require precise adjustment and secure holding power.
Recommended Rope Clutches:
Deck cleats, also known as mooring cleats, are larger cleats that are permanently mounted to the deck or cockpit of a sailboat. They provide a secure attachment point for dock lines, fenders, and other lines used for docking or securing the boat. Deck cleats are usually made of durable materials such as stainless steel or aluminum and are designed to handle significant loads.
Recommended Deck Cleats:
Fairlead Cleat
Fairlead cleats combine the functionality of a cleat with that of a fairlead, which helps guide lines to the appropriate cleating position. They feature an integrated fairlead or a combination of a fairlead and a cleat. Fairlead cleats are commonly used for jib or genoa sheet control lines, where it is important to guide the line for optimal sail trim and secure it quickly.
Recommended Fairlead Cleats:
HARKEN Micro Carbo-Cam Cleat Kit w/Wire Fairlead
Jamming Block with Cleat
This type of cleat is a combination of a jammer or a cam cleat with a pulley or block. It allows the line to be redirected and creates a mechanical advantage when trimming sails. Jamming blocks with cleats are commonly used for applications that require increased purchase or control, such as mainsheet systems or complex control line setups.
Recommended Jamming Block Cleats:
It’s important to note that the specific cleat types and their placement on a sailboat can vary depending on the boat’s design, rigging setup, and intended use. Sailboat owners and manufacturers may also develop unique variations or combinations of cleats to suit their specific needs. Proper installation, sizing, and maintenance of cleats are essential for safe and efficient sail handling.

Using and Fitting our Cleats
Q: Why does Clamcleat® not publish safe working loads (SWL) or break loads for its cleats?
Ans: The quality, type and style of the rope or cord plays a major role in the performance of the cleat. Normally the better the quality of the rope the greater holding power, also some cleats are designed to slip once they exceed the desired holding load as a safety feature including securing fabrics such as sunshades or covers.
Q: Do you get a better performance with an Aluminum cleat?
Ans: Aluminum cleats do not improve the performance of the cleat, but they can achieve higher holding loads and they also might improve the lifespan of the cleat especially if the rope will be in contact with the teeth whilst the rope is being pulled through during adjustment.
Q: What different coating are there for the Aluminum cleats?
Ans: The standard coating for the cleat is a Stoving Aluminum silver enamel coating. For extra protection from corrosion and a high-tech appearance the cleats are also available in a dark grey Hard anodized finish. The part no in suffixed with “AN” to identify the hard anodized finish.
Q: What is the best way to fix an aluminum cleat into a carbon fiber spar?
Ans: You need to create a barrier between the aluminum cleat and the carbon fiber surface to stop electrolytic de-composition. The barrier can be created by cutting a thin shim of plastic to the shape of the cleat and drill the fixing holes (the retail card the cleat is sold on is ideal to use as the shim), also use aa inhibitor or anti corrosive jointing compound such as Duralac on the fixing.
Q: Do you need to put a barrier between the Aluminum cleat and the stainless-steel fixing?
Ans: You need to add a inhibitor or barrier compound between the fixings, the Aluminum cleat and the mast or boom. For example, Daralac anti corrosive jointing compound.
Q: How long should a Nylon cleat last?
Ans: This really depends on the usage, the quality and age of the rope used etc. so is very difficult to gauge. The ultraviolet rays will discolor the cleats over time and in very sunny climates may affect the life of the cleat. In extreme climates the life expectancy should be 10 -15 years depending on usage and in more moderate climate 20 + years.
Q: How long should an Aluminum cleat last?
Q: Can I fit my cleats using pop rivets?
Ans: Using pop rivets to fit your cleat is a tidy quick way of securing the cleat. Ensure the pop rivet is at 90 degrees to the cleat when fixing and with certain smaller cleats the head of the pop rivet gun will not sit onto the pop rivet when in place so you will require to add a spacer between the gun and the rivet.
Q: What type of rope or cord will give the best performance on my cleats?
Ans: In our experience a braided good quality rope gives you the best holding performance.
Q: What is the largest cleat Clamcleat make?
Ans: The CL220 is the largest cleat in the Clamcleat® range and is designed for a rope from 12-16mm 3/8 to 5/8”.
Q: Is there any maintenance required to a cleat to keep it performing well?
Ans: We would recommend flushing the with fresh water as often are you can.
How our cleats work
A deceptively simple ridged 'V' groove holds ropes firmly, yet is devoid of any moving parts to break or seize. It allows the immediate release of the rope by a short upward and backward pull.
Always tension the rope before it enters the cleat. Dragging the rope backwards over the teeth may cause damage, especially to the nylon cleats.
Clamcleat® rope cleats are unsuitable for use with metal ropes.
Most cleats are provided with countersunk fixing holes. Countersunk head screws or bolts of the recommended size should be used; bolts being preferred. If using rivets with a powered fixing gun, make sure the pressure is not set too high.
Fastenings must be entered straight so that the heads do not protrude to snag the rope. Several of the cleats have been designed with a groove in the base enabling them to be fitted to both flat and curved surfaces.
Tapered Pads
As an aid to optimum rope alignment many models can be mounted on Tapered Pads, especially when a fairlead would not be appropriate.
Complementary ranges to satisfy all needs
Marine grade nylon cleats offer very good value for money, for both production builder and sailor alike. They are ideal for most applications where high loads or rope surges are not likely to be encountered. Nylon cleats are corrosion resistant and will last for many years outdoors.
Aluminium cleats are highly successful in providing a complete answer to rope burn. They are unaffected by the heat generated by a rope surging back through a cleat as well as being suitable for sub-zero temperatures. Corrosion resistance is good. Our research into cleat materials over the years has shown aluminium to be far better for high performance cleats than any polymer, irrespective of any fibre reinforcement or additive. These factors make aluminium cleats the best choice for demanding applications.
All alloy cleats are available in our STANDARD SILVER FINISH . Selected cleats are also available in a HARD ANODISED FINISH , which gives a high-tech and fashionable appearance as well as offering superior resistance to sea water corrosion. For military use, alloy cleats can be painted black or supplied hard anodised.
