Sounds a mouthfull but saw a good drogue setup the other day which had sailing cleats bolted onto each G clamp for stearing the boat with the drogue.
Anyone any idea what i should be buying as the list of cleats is never ending, any help much appreciated,

Cheers,
Baz

I think they are called cleat clamps, you need to match your rope diameter, saw a set up last year

Hopefully these will do , looks simmilar to what i saw Mirror and other dinghy Clamcleat | eBay

The problem with the dingy clamp is the drogue rope has to pass through a hole.so is captive. you need the old fashioned one that you can lift the rope out of the cleat.

Similar to what we use on river 'drift boats' save for ONE DARNED IMPORTANT THING!

You do NOT want one that doesn't allow you to pull on the 'line' and free same; these will 're-jam' at the most ... how to say? .... inopportune moments?

Off to look up a link.

Edit: http://hydeoutdoors.com/onlineflysho...product_id=129 In the bottom of a drift boat 'we' do use a slightly different bit of kit, but the end game is 'you pull, it releases.' (Back to Google for a link)

Edit-edit: http://hydeoutdoors.com/onlineflysho...product_id=127 Foot on top frees up the line to run free.

Last comment: DO NOT tie a knot at the end of the rope if the line is going through any kind of 'extra' gear. Knot will 'jam' and you could/will be in "deeeeep ship." In fast moving water this could well pull the back/front of your boat under water .... you thought you had a 'problem' before? Now you've really got a problem!

Another just trust me on this one.

Here's a link to the type you need - drop the rope in - it locks, pull and lift the rope to release. choose the size according to the type of rope used.
I have increased the size of my para drogue's two rigging ropes for ease of handling.
Also use this type of cleat for my anchor rope

Have not used the firm linked to, but a local Chandler - link for illustration purposes only

HTH ..... Tony

Tony knows where of he speaks; just trust me on this one. I've been "running rivers" for close to 50 years and this is the equipment you want. Unless you're really into unpleasant experiences.

Thanks for the link Tony, looks like just what i am after

I like the spring type cam cleats but they're more expensive than jammer cleats.
