Description

Harken Standard Cam-Matic® Cleat with fast release fairlead – 496

Fast Release fairleads feature low-friction, angled stainless steel line guides on the exit side of the cleat. The angled lead keeps the line away from the cam to eliminate unexpected recleats during maneuvers. Use for fast spinnaker take-downs during mark roundings—anywhere fast release is crucial. Harken Cam fairleads are made of tough, abrasion-resistant composite.

Kit Includes 150 Cam-Matic® cleat with Fast Release Fairlead 494

Harken® ball bearing cam cleats hold lines securely and release instantly for easy, precise trimming. Aluminum Cam-Matics® are hardcoat-anodized for high-load, high-wear, continuous adjustment applications.

Multiple rows of high-load ball bearings and precise V-shape reduce friction, allowing Harken cam cleats to activate with the snap of the wrist. No need for draw-through cleating: a downward flick snaps the sheet into the cam and stays exactly where you put it. Flick up and the cleat releases instantly, even under high loads. Harken cleats are the only cleats that engage under maximum line tension.
