Reinforced light alloy cleat 175 mm – code: 67.320.00 – Osculati

Reinforced light alloy cleat Osculati – 175 mm (code 67.320.00)

The reinforced light alloy cleat Osculati is a deck accessory designed for the orderly management of lines on board. Thanks to its typical cleat geometry, it allows you to secure halyards and sheets practically supporting maneuvering and mooring operations in various nautical usage contexts.

This version is identified by the Osculati code 67.320.00 and is offered in the size 175 mm, a suitable choice when you want a cleat with adequate size and grip for deck use, without giving up a component in lightweight alloy.

Product features and details

Type and function

It is a reinforced cleat, designed for use as a fixing and winding point for lines. It is suitable for:

• Halyard stopper (management and locking of running rigging).
• Sheet stopper (organization and securing of lines in use).

Material

The cleat is made of lightweight alloy. This construction choice is common in deck accessories when looking for a practical component to install and handle, maintaining a profile suitable for the nautical environment.

Dimensions and drilling (data available)

The following dimensional data are available for this configuration:

• Length: 175 mm
• Hole spacing: 36 mm
• Hole diameter: 6

Note: for the choice of screws and any backing plate, always check the thickness of the support and the configuration of the deck/mounting surface.

Product identification

• Brand / supplier: Osculati S.r.l.
• Supplier product code: 67.320.00

Typical onboard applications

A cleat is a transversal component, usable in many areas of the boat depending on the layout and maneuvering needs. This reinforced light alloy version can be used, for example, for:

• Running rigging management in the cockpit or near work areas, to keep halyards and sheets tidy.
• Line organization on deck, where a dedicated and easily accessible fixing point is needed.
• Fittings and refitting, when replacing existing accessories or adding securing points in specific areas.

The correct placement depends on the path of the lines, space constraints, and the need for access during maneuvers.

Operational advantages

A well-sized and positioned cleat improves line handling and makes deck operations smoother. This Osculati version, thanks to its reinforced configuration and lightweight alloy material, is designed for practical and continuous use.

Benefits in line management

• Immediate fastening: allows locking a line with a simple wrap.
• Order on deck: helps keep halyards and sheets in place, reducing clutter.
• Accessibility: a dedicated point makes it quicker to find and manage the correct line.

Usage and installation notes

General indications

For proper use, it is important that the cleat is installed on an adequate surface and in a position that allows working with the line without interference. During installation, consider:

• Alignment relative to the direction of pull of the line, to avoid abnormal chafing.
• Accessibility during maneuvers (grip, winding, and release).
• Free space around the cleat to manage the line neatly.

Mounting

The available data indicate Ø holes 6 and 36 mm spacing is provided. The choice of screws (type, length) and any reinforcements (for example, backing plate or suitable washers) must be made based on the structure on which the cleat is mounted and the needs of the deck system.

Maintenance

As with other deck accessories, periodic checks of the tightening and general condition of the component are recommended, especially in case of frequent use or repeated stresses. Keeping the contact area with the lines clean helps preserve functionality over time.

Size selection

This sheet refers to the version 175 mm. When selecting, evaluate the size based on the available space and the type of lines you want to manage. If replacing an existing component, also check the compatibility of the drilling with the holes already present.
