Summary

Description
English: A jamming cleat on a sailing yacht
Date
Source Own work
Author Paul Fox


The rope is free to run around the lower part of the cleat (below the screws). The upper part is tapered so that the space between the cleat and the boat gets smaller closer to the screws. Hence the rope jams in the cleat when it is pulled downwards.
