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.

The Whitsunday Islands

By Mathew Channer

On my first day as a commercially registered yacht captain, I sailed a Fontaine Pajot 38 catamaran from mainland Australia across the Whitsunday Passage to the western shores of the world-famous Whitsunday islands.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
