Pull Up Cleats

Mar 24, 2022

Many boaters prefer the clean appearance and greater safety of modern pull-up cleats that retract flush into the deck when not in use. But depending on where they need to be installed, limited mounting room can make it difficult. Series 490 Rectangular Pull-Up Cleats from Accon Marine feature a sleek, compact design that allows use in even challenging spaces where other flush-mount hardware simply won’t fit.

Made from polished, marine-grade 316 stainless steel for extreme durability and a lifetime of good looks, Series 490 Pull-Up Cleats feature a fresh, modern aesthetic that complements the contemporary profile of today’s boats. A neat recess formed in the cleat allows it to be pulled up easily when required for mooring, while its broad flat top pushes effortlessly flush into the deck when no longer needed. The cleat’s mounded base allows water to run off without pooling, while its compact, innovative design eliminates the need for a cut-out, making installation quick and easy. A helpful online video at bit.ly/2tceAgA demonstrates the process on a similar Accon cleat.

Available in 6″, 8″ and 10″ sizes to accommodate mooring line sizes of up to 5/8″, 3/4″ and 1″ respectively, Series 490 Rectangular Pull-Up Cleats suit a wide range of boats and yachts as both original equipment or a thoughtful upgrade for DIY refits. MSRP starts at $92.82.

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
