We present the CLAMCLEAT® Side Entry Racing Micros Clamp CL277AN

The side entry fairlead allows ropes to be hooked in for cleating, yet easily removed. Small, neat and lightweight. Advanced tooth technology to hold all types of small rope. Integral becket allows rigging with a 2:1 ratio, without extra parts. Applications include Canoes & Kayaks (seat & rudder lines); Dinghy tiller lines. Manufactured from aluminum for a light weight and durable performance.

The Clamcleat® CL278 is available in two finishes:
CL278 has a silver stove enamel finish for a cost effective, high quality coating.
CL278AN has a hard anodized finish to give a hard wearing surface.

CL278 is the Port version of this cleat.
Using a CL823 Tapered Pad can aid rope alignment.
To prevent any corrosion when fitting the CL278 to carbon fiber tubes, use a barrier compound, or our PT425 + PT425 insulators.
A larger version is CL218 Mk2 for 3-6mm ropes.
If you want a closed fairlead, see CL268.
