Schaefer's new open base cleats provide smooth, generous radius edges that reduce line chafe.
Open Base Cleats help prevent loose halyard ends from running up the mast. Line ends can be inserted through the "open" base and then knotted for an easily grabbed dead end.
This tough cleat is anodized to provide the strength and corrosion resistance you need for years of reliable service. Strong yet lightweight aluminum offers an advantage over easily "burned-out" plastic or heavy stainless designs. Smooth edges protect your lines from chafing and wear, and these cleats accept large-diameter lines that are easier on your hands.
