Jam Cleats | |
Cleats are used to tie off a line (halyards, reef lines, sheets, etc.), wherever needed. Jam Cleats are generally similar to Spar Cleats (a narrow base attaching with 2 screws) but with an extended foot with a V-Groove on one side designed to wedge the line as tension is applied. They generally also have a hole in the base so the line can be run through it and knotted, preventing the line from getting away. They are commonly used for Jib Sheets. Rig-Rite stocks a variety of Jam Cleats. Common ones are listed below. Bronze Jam Cleats are listed separately, See Bronze Cleats. If you require Jam Cleats not listed, please forward a sketch or photo of your Cleat with measurements, hole spacing (to centers), full details of the part, boat model and year. See also: Spar Cleats, Deck Cleats, Bronze Cleats. and Cleats Main Page.
