line may be eased. By holding a downward angle, lever acts as a snubbing
surface for better control of heavily loaded lines.
Raise line tail (position C), or simply release line (position A).
Spring-loaded cams close to cleat line again.
Fairings around release lever allow cleating when tail leaves cleat at up
to 45° to either side of cleat axis. Line stays between cams at all times.
