Barton Marine 165mm Sliding Cleat - Fits 25mm T Track

The Barton Marine 165mm Sliding Cleat – Fits 25mm T Track is a proven midship spring cleat solution for sailors and boaters facing limited deck access on cabin cruisers, sailboats, and coastal fishing vessels. After years of running line and rigging on the water, you know that proper cleat placement makes the difference between secure dock lines and costly mishaps. This sliding cleat eliminates the need for new through-deck installation by working seamlessly with existing Genoa tracks, letting you position a spring cleat exactly where you need it without invasive modifications.

Built to integrate with standard 25mm T-track systems, the Barton Marine cleat uses a sliding lock mechanism that grips securely once positioned and holds under load. The 165mm width provides substantial rope-handling capacity typical of mid-range cleats, while the compact profile fits neatly along side decks where headroom or cabin structure would otherwise prevent conventional cleat mounting. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion from salt spray and UV exposure, ensuring years of reliable service in harsh marine environments without maintenance or degradation.

This cleat excels for boaters running spring lines, dock lines, or fender adjustments on vessels where side-deck access is restricted by cabin configuration or existing hardware. Simply slide out your Genoa track end stop, lock the cleat in position, and secure your lines—no drilling, no epoxy, no permanent deck penetrations. The cleat slides out of the way when not in use, preserving deck space and reducing snag hazards. It's ideal for retrofit applications, charter vessels, and owners seeking quick, reversible upgrades to existing T-track systems.
