Unimer U Cleat Mooring Compensator

The U-Cleat Mooring Compensator features a unique removable locking mechanism that allows for fitting without a free end of the line, giving you plenty of options in comparison with a conventional compensator. U-Cleat can easily be repositioned after fitting, transferred to another line, or fitted to a line with eye splices or thimbles on both ends. When it’s time to wash your lines, U-Cleat is easy to remove and refit.

The innovative U-Cleat lock between line and compensator is designed to give optimal locking effect and prevent line slipping, without affecting the strength or durability of the line. U-Cleat Mooring Compensator is designed and made in Sweden using a high quality EPDM rubber with glass fibre reinforced polyamide inserts moulded together with the rubber. The cleats are produced in glass fibre reinforced polypropylene.

PBO Best On Test:

In 2016, Practical Boat Owner tested 12 mooring snubbers to find out which one absorbs a snatch load. In the test, Unimer's U Cleat performed best and was given the accolation of PBO Best Buy.

Here's what Practical Boat Owner said about the mooring compensator: 
"This is designed to address the problem of easy removal from the line by using Clam-cleat type jammers which can be popped out from the end of the snubber. This also allows it to be fitted to an already rigged line. The U-cleat idea works well, so if you think you might need to remove the snubber on a regular basis this is a good choice."
