Auto release jamming cleat

[pecard]

Does anyone know of an auto release jamming cleat - not the clamcleat cl257 - capable of taking 8mm rope. A while ago I was on a Dragonfly which had two fitted but I have no idea who made them, and after half a day's internet search I have given up looking. HELP!

What do you mean by "auto release"? My starboard jib sheet jammer releases automatically when it feels like it, but I guess that's not what you're after

They let go when a shock load comes down the line, a bit like ski bindings. I have them on my DF, but don't know who makes them.

Hi Angus,

It was on a DF that I saw them. Is there any chance when you're next on the boat you could see if they have a name on the side and let me know?

Cheers, Pecard

Didn't notice that must read the exam questions more closely. He also said not the CL257.
