Cleats

Cleats served as sturdy fastening devices for securing ropes and lines. These small, often metal or wooden, fittings were typically shaped like a T or a Y and featured two or more arms or horns that provided multiple attachment points. Cleats were strategically positioned along the ship’s decks, masts, and other structures, offering convenient and reliable points for securing and adjusting the ship’s rigging. Sailors would wrap ropes or lines around the arms of the cleats and secure them with knots or hitches, creating a secure and adjustable connection. Cleats played a vital role in maintaining tension and controlling the movement of ropes and lines, facilitating the handling of sails, adjusting rigging, or securing the ship in various situations. Wooden Model Ship Fittings Cleats come in a range of sizes and shapes.
