FAQs

What is the difference between a cleat and a rope clutch?
A cleat is typically used for low-load applications and allows quick release of lines by pulling them upward. A rope clutch, on the other hand, is designed for medium to high loads and requires opening a handle to release the line. Clutches are more complex and suitable for larger boats or higher load lines.

How do I choose the right size of rope clutch for my sailboat?
To choose the right size of rope clutch, consider the diameter of your rope and the load it will handle. Ensure the clutch is compatible with your rope size and can manage the expected loads without slipping or damaging the rope.

What maintenance is required for rope clutches and jammers?
Rope clutches and jammers require occasional maintenance, such as cleaning with a hose to remove debris and checking the cam for wear. Regularly inspecting these components can help prevent damage to the rope and ensure reliable performance.
