A cam cleat has at least one cam mounted on a base. The cam has a fairlead projection that is spaced from the base and that rotates with the cam. When the cam is in its idle position with no line gripped by a jaw of the cam, the fairlead projection is rotated out of alignment with a gripping path that a line to be gripped by the cam cleat occupies. When a line is gripped by the cam, the cam rotates into a gripping position where the fairlead projection is rotated into alignment with the gripping path. The fairlead projection is aligned with the gripping path when the line is gripped in the cam's jaw. When so aligned, the fairlead projection resists tension in the line directed upward from the cam cleat that might otherwise cause the line to slip from the grip of the cam's jaw. |
