Harken Micro Cam-Matic® Cleat 468

Harken Micro Cam-Matic® Cleat – 468

The Harken Micro Cam-Matic® Cleat 468 is a compact ball bearing cam cleat designed for precise trimming and reliable line control on small boats and high-performance sailing systems. Featuring hardcoat-anodized aluminium cams, it delivers secure holding power, instant release, and exceptional durability in high-load, high-wear applications.

The Harken Micro Cam-Matic® Cleat 468 is a lightweight, high-performance cam cleat engineered to provide smooth operation, secure line holding, and instant release when precision matters most. Designed for smaller control systems and modern performance sailing applications, it combines Harken's proven ball bearing technology with durable aluminium construction for dependable long-term performance.

The integrated ball bearing system reduces friction during line entry and release, allowing sailors to make quick, accurate adjustments with minimal effort. This makes the 468 ideal for continuously adjusted control lines where smooth trimming and rapid response are essential.

Hardcoat-anodized aluminium cams provide outstanding resistance to wear and corrosion, making the cleat suitable for high-load applications despite its compact size. The aggressive cam profile securely grips modern sailing lines while minimising slippage and maintaining consistent performance in demanding marine environments.

Designed for lines ranging from 2mm to 6mm, the Micro Cam-Matic® is commonly used on dinghies, skiffs, sportsboats, foiling classes, and performance keelboats. Typical applications include control lines, Cunningham systems, outhauls, vang adjustments, traveller controls, and other fine-tune rigging systems.

Compact, lightweight, and built to Harken's renowned standards, the 468 delivers professional-level performance wherever precise line management is required.
