Enineered for Performance Intensive development efforts have produced this hih performance rane of cleats that provide unbeatable holdin power while allowin easy cleatin and releasin of control lines in every application and load condition. Throuh the use of advanced composites, these cleats achieve superior performance while overcomin the limitations of metal alloys. Ronstan cam cleats are stron, liht and corrosion free. Desin Optimisation Computer optimised Cam profile results in superior rippin ability over a wide rane of rope sizes. Slotted Bearins Self lubricatin, selfcleanin slotted bearins provide lower frictional resistance and quicker response times than ball bearins which deform under load, as well as superior resistance to sand and salt. MultiCoil Sprin The multicoil sprin recessed in the upper part of the cam enerates near constant torque. This constant torque ensures secure cleatin of even the smallest lines with minimal abrasion or rope wear and low line entry and exit efforts. Carbon Cams Lihtweiht ultra riid carbon fibre composite cams are corrosion free, suffer virtually no tooth wear and are nonrope abrasive. Unique Teeth and Entry Profiles Low entry and exit efforts due to unique teeth and entry profiles. Reversible cams. Advanced Composite Base Base produced from lon fibre reinforced polymer, a result of advanced composite technoloy providin metal replacement. Customisation A comprehensive rane of specialist cleat accessories allow customisation of the cleat setup to optimise performance by controllin inward lead, outward lead, cleatin and uncleatin anle and heiht. Total Control Swivel bases further enhance the function of cleats providin articulation, and with some models, settin of cleatin anle and direction (up or down cleatin) to allow control of lines and sheets from various positions on the boat. 76
