Selden Aluminium Valley Fairlead Cleat 268 for 1–6 mm Lines

The Aluminium Valley Fairlead Cleat is engineered for precise line management of small control and sheet lines with diameters from 1 mm to 6 mm. Its durable aluminium construction resists wear and reduces the risk of rope chafe or burn under load, making it suitable for frequent handling on dinghies, keelboats and cruising yachts.

The integrated fairlead guides the rope into the cleat with minimal friction, ensuring secure locking and easy release even in dynamic sailing conditions. The cleat can be mounted on flat or curved surfaces using rivets, countersunk screws or bolts (mounting hardware sold separately). For improved rope alignment and handling comfort at non-standard angles, pair with an optional tapered pad.
