Description
DO 550 Rope Clutch - Double The Barton D0 550 clutch is designed for cruising and racing yachts. Manufactured from modern lightweight materials to withstand the harsh marine environment.
Molded parts are from high-grade plastics that are strong, light, and impact-resistant. Cams and bases are manufactured from marine grade 'Spectro' anodized aluminum, for high wear resistance and long life.
Stainless steel rope fairleads are fitted to both line entry and exit points, this feature prevents wear to both clutch and lines. The true clutch mechanism allows the line to be adjusted through the unit in the closed, locked position with minimal slippage.
Released under load is positive and requires little effort. The mechanisms opening and closing action is precise and easy to operate, even with cold, wet hands.
A unique feature of this design is the removable insert on the top face of the handle. Pop this out and you can easily replace it with printed colored inserts to denote at a glance the function of the unit (i.
e. main, genoa, spinnaker, etc).
The D0 550 clutch features the advantage of a bolt-together construction which allows for ease of servicing and replacement of parts.

Sailing — frequently asked
- How do I size a block for my sailboat?
- Match the block to the line diameter it will carry and to the working and breaking loads of the system (sheet, halyard, control line). Makers publish load ratings and line-size ranges — choose a block whose working load comfortably exceeds the real-world load, without going so large it adds needless weight.
- What is running rigging?
- Running rigging is the moving lines that control the sails — sheets, halyards, and control lines — as opposed to standing rigging (the fixed wire that holds up the mast). Running rigging should be matched to the boat’s blocks, clutches, and winches for smooth, reliable sail handling.
- How do I maintain sailboat winches and hardware?
- Rinse with fresh water after sailing, keep sheaves and bearings clean, and periodically service winches (disassemble, clean, and re-grease per the maker’s instructions). Marine-grade stainless and good maintenance keep hardware working smoothly when loads are high and timing matters.
