The Harken Nash Trigger cleat has a unique mechanism that allows you to
release highly loaded lines with complete control. Pulling the sheet
down on the trigger trips the pawls and frees the sheet. The trigger
serves as a snubbing surface to control release.
In light air, or once the trigger releases the load, the cleat operates
like a normal cam cleat. The Trigger cleat is constructed of rugged
stainless steel. It is very reliable in heavy air.
Harken Trigger cleats are ideal on highly loaded systems like mainsheets,
vangs, and even for some halyards. They have developed a cult-like
following in some classes where the crew loves the ability to spill
the mainsail reliably during close-quarters maneuvering.
Use for:
Mainsheets, Halyards, Vangs and Control lines.
Part Number: 418
