Harken Micro Cam-Matic II with Fast Release Fairlead - 498

Fast Release fairleads feature low-friction, angled stainless steel line guides on the exit side of the cleat. The angled lead keeps the line away from the cam to eliminate unexpected recleats during maneuvers. Use for fast spinnaker take-downs during mark roundings—anywhere fast release is crucial. Harken Cam fairleads are made of tough, abrasion-resistant composite.

• Kit Includes 468 Micro Cam-Matic® cleat & 495 Fast Release Fairlead

Harken® ball bearing cam cleats hold lines securely and release instantly for easy, precise trimming. Lightweight fibre-reinforced Carbo-Cams® for racing where weight is critical, or where adjustments are less frequent.

Multiple rows of high-load ball bearings and precise V-shape reduce friction, allowing Harken cam cleats to activate with the snap of the wrist. No need for draw-through cleating: a downward flick snaps the sheet into the cam and stays exactly where you put it. Flick up and the cleat releases instantly, even under high loads. Harken cleats are the only cleats that engage under maximum line tension.
