Clutches & Jammers

Clutches and jammers aren't for every application, but there are many instances where they will out-perform your cam cleats. These types of rope securing devices are particularly useful in situations where you need to accommodate higher loads. Clutches work by keeping the line captive to avoid accidental release using a one-way valve that lets you trim the line in as-needed. However, you cannot ease the clutch until the lever is opened. Jammers are designed for use in situations where you're using the winch for release or in higher load rigging applications where cam cleats don't supply enough strength. Atlantic Rigging Supply is the best place to find sailing clutches and jammers by Ronstan, Spinlock, Lewmar and other top sailing brands.

Popular options such as the Ronstan Constrictor Rope Clutch provide exceptional holding power but are at least three times lighter than conventional rope clutches. They are designed to safely release under load without the need of a winch and have a remote release system built-in.

The narrow profile on each one makes installation very easy in banks of two or more. Finally, make sure to explore our selection of Lewmar rope clutches if you're in the market for a sailboat clutch that will prevent rope fray while still holding the line securely. These styles are made with a unique non-cam clutch design featuring smooth parallel rings at the base to provide you with maximum control and efficiency.
