Har418 trigger cleat is used on mainsheet systems [usually above 8:1] to release the line without moving the sheet out of the cleat. Some of the fboat guys use them including me. Basically you pull the sheet to either side and the claws release and allow you to ease a small amount without taking the line out of the cleats. Under heavy loads it enables you not loose alot of tension...thats if you're paying attention and don't pull the line up. If you pull up it just relases as normal which is great if thats what is required.
I don't know how well it works when in the traps... Thats why I'm asking??? I'm thinking about both the mainsheet and main traveler if they make one for that unit. The best price I've found is on Pyacht.com.
