Ronstan 2-8mm Rope Swivel Cleat Fairlead

The Ronstan 2-8mm Rope Swivel Cleat Fairlead is a compact way to manage sheet leads and halyard controls that need a compact swiveling fairlead and cleat arrangement. Its arm rotates through a full circle, letting the crew approach the cleat from different working positions on a dinghy or catamaran. The integrated small T-Cleat and fairlead keep the line guided into the holding surface instead of leaving the lead to chance. That makes the unit particularly useful on controls that are adjusted frequently during a race or active daysail.

Heavy-gauge alloy cleating arms provide stiffness so the cleat does not twist excessively when the line is loaded. Grade 316 stainless fittings are used at the connection points for corrosion resistance in a wet deck environment. Stainless-lined deadeyes reduce friction and are intended to stand up to repeated movement over time. The simple mechanical layout keeps the hardware accessible for inspection and rinsing rather than hiding the working surfaces inside an enclosed housing.

• Full-circle swivel action for changing crew positions
• Small T-Cleat and fairlead in one compact assembly
• Stiff alloy cleating arms
• Grade 316 stainless fittings

The fairlead is intended for 2 to 8mm line, covering the small control ropes commonly used for dinghy and catamaran sail trim. Install it where the rotating arm has room to swing without striking nearby hardware or trapping the line. A fair approach angle will help the cleat release cleanly and reduce unnecessary abrasion at the lead. For additional cleats, fairleads, and sail-control fittings, browse more Sailing Hardware.
