ABSTRACT:
A cleat for securing a rope includes a main component and a secondary component. The main component has an aperture formed therein and a pair of cleat horns. The secondary component has an aperture that is alignable with the main component aperture. Each of the main component and secondary component has a connectable surface and a mountable surface. The connectable surfaces are adapted to cooperate such that the secondary component is engageable with the main component. The mountable surfaces are adapted to cooperate such that the mountable surfaces secure the cleat to a support when assembled. A rope is secured to the cleat by first securing the cleat to a support, then threading the rope through the aperture, and then tying the rope around the cleat horns.
