Where the 27mm cleat handles trimming lines, the 38mm size takes sheets, reefing lines and genoa cars, and this Selden cam cleat fairlead 38 keeps those heavier ropes entering the jaws cleanly. At 4-12mm rope capacity it covers most cruising control lines, and the 38mm hole centres match the cleat itself, so no fresh holes are needed in the coachroof or cockpit coaming. Because the fairlead lifts the rope, the crew can cleat and uncleat without crouching over the fitting. On Irish coastal waters, where a squall can put full load on a line in seconds, a properly aligned lead is what separates a cleat that holds from one that slips.
Sold as: one fairlead. Cam cleat and fixings are sold separately.
