Clamcleats

In 1965 Clamcleats Limited was formed, initial patents were filed and the trade mark Clamcleat was registered. An early distinguished customer was Sir Francis Chichester. His vessel, Gipsy Moth IV, was fitted with ten CL201 cleats, which helped him to set the first speed record for single handed circumnavigation in 1966-67.

The family-run company, based in Welywn Garden City, England, is now in its third generation. With sound engineering and efficient administration, they are dedicated to offering quality and personal service. Right from the beginning, it has been company policy to offer excellent service to all their customers. Good stocks are held so orders can be supplied quickly, via distributors around the globe. Clamcleat rope cleats have always been produced at their factory in England, from design and toolmaking, through casting and moulding to finishing and packaging. This guarantees that all stages of production can be closely controlled to ensure high quality cleats. Whilst Clamcleat rope cleats are mainly sold in the sail-boat and windsurfing markets, there are numerous industrial applications. Their vision is to continue growing as a business and have exciting projects planned for the future - but no call, so far, for a switch pull-cord cleat!
