The Clamcleat® CL257 self-releasing cleat offers the most effective solution for locking a rudder while allowing it to raise in the event of contact with the bottom or a solid obstacle. It holds the lines firmly and releases them as soon as it is overloaded.
Once triggered, it can be easily reset in seconds by pushing it back into its base. The CL257 is equipped with an adjustable cam allowing the trigger tension to be adjusted to suit the boat and local conditions. The cam is adjusted until the rudder is held firmly in the down position under optimal sailing conditions.
