Clutches

Barton Marine's Rope Clutches are designed for cruising and racing yachts, the DO550 design offering a holding power of up to 550kg. The DO550 clutches are designed for yachts up to 11 metres.

Modern, high-performance materials - Manufactured from modern lightweight materials, the D0550 moulded parts are from high-grade plastics which are strong, light and impace resistant. Cams and bases are from marine grade aluminium, "Spectro" anodised for long life in the harsh marine environment.

A unique feature of the DO550 design is the removable insert on the top face of the handle. These inserts are available packaged separately with a selection for both cruising and racing yachts.

Also available are the recognisable compact design Rope Clutches manufactured from high grade plastics and aluminium with 'Spectro' grey annodised finish. Lines can be drawn through the clutch in the locked position as the line moves freely in the direction of pull and is restricted from returning by a spring-loaded cam mechanism.

This compact range is suitable for securing halyards and control lines on yachts up to 30ft - or for lighter duties on large craft.
