Sea-Dog CL203 Clamcleat Junior Nylon Cleat 1/8-1/4 In
Sea-Dog CL203 Clamcleat Junior Nylon Cleat 1/8-1/4 In — Product description
The Sea-Dog CL203 Clamcleat Junior is a small self-locking nylon cleat that grabs line the instant you snug it down. Sized for 1/8 to 1/4 inch rope, it's the quick-release fitting you reach for on dinghy control lines, flag halyards, and small-boat rigging where a full horn cleat is overkill.
A Clamcleat holds line differently than a horn cleat. You just pull the rope down into the ribbed V-jaws and it wedges tight, no wrapping or hitching needed. Lift the line back out and it releases clean. The CL203 Junior is the small one in the family, built for 1/8 to 1/4 inch diameter rope.
It's molded from black nylon, so there's nothing on it to corrode and nothing to scratch your gelcoat. At 3-1/4 inches long and 11/16 inch wide, it tucks into tight spots on a deck, a mast, or a kayak. We see these used everywhere: dinghy outhaul and downhaul lines, flag halyards, sail ties, cockpit line organizers, even holding a tarp line on the trailer. Anywhere you want to grab a small line fast and let it go just as fast.
One thing to keep in mind. A jam-style cleat like this is built for light control lines, not heavy loads or primary dock lines. Match it to the job, keep the rope within the 1/8 to 1/4 inch range, and it'll lock every time. This is a single cleat, so grab a pair if you're rigging both sides.

Frequently asked questions
What size rope does the CL203 Clamcleat Junior hold?
It's built for 1/8 to 1/4 inch diameter rope. Keep your line within that range and it locks reliably every time.
How does a Clamcleat work?
You pull the line down into the ribbed V-jaws and it wedges tight on its own, no wrapping needed. To release, just lift the line back up and out of the jaws.
What's it made of?
Black nylon. There's nothing on it to corrode, and the smooth molded body won't scratch your gelcoat or deck.
Does this come as a pair?
No, this is a single cleat. If you're rigging both port and starboard, order two.
Can I use it for dock lines?
No. A jam-style cleat like this is made for light control lines within the 1/8 to 1/4 inch range, not primary dock lines or heavy loads.
