Boat Cleats
Boat cleats are essential fixtures found on boats that provide a secure and reliable means to tie off and secure ropes, lines, and cables. They come in various types, each designed for specific purposes and applications. In this guide, we will define boat cleats and explore the different types available.
Open Base Cleats:
Open base cleats are the most common type of boat cleats. They feature a simple design with two upward-extending horns or prongs. These cleats are typically made of durable materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, or nylon.
Horn Cleats:
Horn cleats, also known as closed base cleats, have a closed circular or oval-shaped base with one or more protruding horns. They are often constructed from stainless steel or bronze for increased strength and corrosion resistance.
Herreshoff Cleats:
Herreshoff cleats, also called chock cleats, are characterized by their distinctive "U" shape. They consist of a curved base with two elongated arms extending horizontally. Herreshoff cleats are commonly used on sailboats.
Folding Cleats:
Folding cleats are designed to be recessed or mounted flush with the boat's surface. They can be temporarily folded down when not in use, reducing obstructions and tripping hazards. Folding cleats are typically made of stainless steel or marine-grade nylon.
Conclusion:
Boat cleats are fixtures that play a crucial role in securing lines, ropes, and cables on boats. Open base cleats, horn cleats, Herreshoff cleats, and folding cleats are the most common types used for various applications. Understanding the different types of boat cleats will help you choose the appropriate cleats for your specific needs and ensure the safe and secure mooring, anchoring, and sail control of your vessel.
