The product details provided describe the Waveline Heavy Duty Nylon Cleats (frequently distributed by marine suppliers under general high-strength nylon deck hardware). These cleats offer a lightweight, highly durable, and corrosion-free alternative to traditional stainless steel or aluminium deck cleats.
Key Design and Performance Features
- Marine-Grade Nylon Construction: Injection-molded from UV-stabilised, high-impact nylon. This material will not rust, corrode, or cause galvanic corrosion when fastened to aluminium masts or metal decks.
- Generous Base Area: Engineered with a wide, flat footprint that distributes mechanical loads evenly across the deck surface. The broad base makes it easy to apply marine sealant (such as Sikaflex) to ensure a completely watertight seal over fastener holes.
- Smooth Radiused Edges: Crafted with smooth contours to eliminate sharp angles, preventing premature rope chafing, line snagging, or accidental wear on halyards and control lines.
- Versatile Utility: Highly adaptable deck gear perfectly suited as halyard tie-offs, deck-mounted control line cleats, or lightweight mooring cleats on dinghies, tenders, and small sailing boats.
Technical Specifications & Sizing Guide
These cleats feature a standard two-hole fastening design. Please note that fixing fasteners (screws or bolts) are typically sold separately to match your specific deck thickness.
