Nautos Composite Ball Bearing Cam Cleat

The Nautos Composite Cam Cleat 91025 is a high-performance, marine-grade cleat designed to hold control lines securely and release them smoothly under load. Thanks to its two rows of high-load ball bearings, this cam cleat minimises friction, allowing the cams to open easily for instant release rather than dragging through—a significant advantage in demanding Irish sailing conditions.

Made from a durable composite body with a stainless steel base insert to resist wear at the rope entry point, this unit is built to resist salt spray, UV exposure and frequent use typical on Irish offshore and coastal vessels. With mounting hole centres compatible with many standard layouts (38 mm) and designed for lines up to around 10 mm diameter, this cleat offers versatile installation across leisure and performance boats in Ireland.

Features

• Twin rows of ball bearings reduce friction and enable rapid, secure locking and release of lines. 
• Composite body construction offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, ideal for rigging aloft or where weight matters.
• Stainless steel base insert at rope entry point enhances durability and wear resistance.
• Designed for standard drillings (38 mm hole centres), making retrofitting easier on existing boats.
• Supports lines up to approx 10 mm diameter (≈3/8″) and working loads up to ~109 kg (240 lb); breaking strength ~227 kg (500 lb).
• Low-profile design (height ~27 mm) suited for installations where space is tight or flush mounting is preferred.
• Ideal for Irish sailors wanting high-quality deck hardware that copes with harsh weather, frequent use, and salt-spray environments.
