The bottom roller of the Clamcleat® CL230 allows ropes to enter the cleat from below. Ideal for bringing a rope through a surface. Can also be rigged on a rope for 1:1 or 2:1 advantage.

CL230 is ideal for through-deck and through-mast applications.  Images show it being used for Cunningham and Kicker controls on an International 14 dinghy. Also for tensioning thesunshadeonyachts and powerboats, where the dark grey CL230AN looks good on carbon fiber poles. TheCL824Riser Padcanbe used to raise CL230 so roller is above a surface. Allows a round hole to be drilled for the rope.

The CL230 can also be rigged on a rope. We recommend using a PT230SSE to aid rope release. For trapeze adjustment, with 4 or 5mm ropes, a CL834 handle can be fitted. (A lower cost alternative to the PT230SSE is PTLINK)

Available in two finishes:
—CL230hasa silver stove enamel finish for a cost-effective, high-quality coating.
—CL230ANhasa hard anodized finish to give a harder wearing surface.

A nylon version is also available for lower loads, seeCL203/S2.
To cut a smaller hole in the deck,theCL230 can be raised by using CL824 Riser Pad.
Fitting PT422&23 Insulators between cleat and carbon spars will prevent galvanic corrosion.Whenused with hard anodised cleats, the insulators are almost invisible.  Fitting 2 insulator pads under the CL230 also raises the roller enough to cut a round hole in the deck.
If rigging in mid-air, using aPR230SSERope Guidemakesreleasing the rope a lot easier.
Fitting a PTLINKdoesthe same.
CL253 is an alloy cleatthatalso rigs on a rope.
CL211 Mk1 is a standard alloy deck cleat, without the bottom roller.
