The Lewmar DC2 Double Rope Clutch (12-14mm) is a heavy-duty, high-performance clutch designed for securely managing two lines within the 12mm to 14mm diameter range. Built for extreme loads, this clutch offers a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 1000kg per line, making it ideal for high-load halyards, sheets, and control lines on performance yachts. Featuring Lewmar’s advanced Domino Cluster technology, it delivers exceptional holding power while minimising rope wear, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding conditions.

Smooth & Controlled Release: The pull-back handle design, combined with Lewmar’s patented clutching system, enables gradual and precise line release, even under full load, ensuring greater safety and control.
