Ronstan RF67 Swivel Cleat Fairlead for Sailing Boats, 2-8mm (3/32-5/16") Rope

Swivel Cleat Fairlead - 2-8mm(3/32-5/16") Rope Diameter

Swivel cleat bases permit easy cleating and releasing from any angle. Dead eyes contain stainless steel liners for low friction and long life. Cleating plates are heavy gauge alloys for stiffness and minimum distortion under load.

A cleat is a device having protruding arms or horns around which a line (rope) can be looped to secure it. A "swivel" cleat has a spinning mechanism that allows it to turn freely. This feature can help to reduce friction and wear on the rope while also allowing more control over the direction of the line. A fairlead is a fitting that directs the line and keeps it from chafing against other surfaces. It guarantees that the line travels in a straight line while minimizing wear and strain.
