Rope storage system

摘要

A nautical cleat engagement device provides secure engagement to a nautical cleat without directly tying a rope or line to the nautical cleat. The device includes a housing which may be incorporated into or coupled to whatever a user might wish to secure to a cleat. An opening extends into a bottom surface of the housing. The opening is elongated for receiving a horn cleat through the opening. The housing has a cavity in alignment with the opening permitting rotation of the horn cleat within the housing into a locking position within the cavity. A locking pin extends through the housing into the cavity to inhibit rotation of the horn cleat from the locking position.
