When in use, traditional fixed cleats are quite utilitarian. But they're also trip and snag hazards, much to an owner's dismay, and take away from the clean lines of a modern boat. Accon Marine's 490 Series Rectangular Pull-Up Cleats are different. Not only do they have a sleek, contemporary design but retract to sit flush with the surface. When needed, they simply pull up and are ready for use.
Accon 490 Series Rectangular Pull-Up Cleats are made from polished marine-grade 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and a premium appearance. The slim tops are slightly convex for water runoff and to accommodate convenient fingertip lifting notches integrated on either side.
The cleats are available in three sizes. Accon's 6" model is 1.46" wide and handles line up to .625" in diameter; the 8" L x 1.62" W version is for .75" line; and the 10" L x 1.88" W model accommodates line to 1". They require 2.92", 3.57" and 3.67" of mounting clearance below the surface, respectively.
Installing 490 Series Rectangular Pull-Up Cleats is straightforward. Using the supplied template, two holes are drilled and the cleat is installed. From underneath, the included external tooth lock washers are added with the smooth side up. Then, using a liquid thread lock, the nuts are added and tightened.

The 10th edition of the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge (MEBC) has wrapped up at the Yacht Club de Monaco (YCM) and it gives a compelling look at the future of electric boating.
The MEBC was started in 2014 as a competition between university teams who built and raced boats powered only by solar power and batteries. To encourage more participation from institutions that may not have naval architecture or boat construction expertise, the YCM introduced the Energy Class competition. The club supplies the student teams with the same one-design catamaran hull, and each team adds their own cockpit and propulsion system that can be powered by any renewable alternative energy sources, not just solar.
