Description
Triple DO 550 Rope Clutch Modern, high-performance materials. Manufactured from modern lightweight materials, the DO 550 molded parts are from high-grade plastics that are strong, light, and impact-resistant.
Cams and bases are from marine grade aluminum, anodized for long life in the harsh marine environment. True clutch mechanism This true clutch mechanism allows lines to be adjusted through the unit in the closed, locked position with minimal slippage.
Release under load is positive and requires little effort. The mechanism’s opening and closing action is precise and easy to operate, even with cold, wet hands.
A positive handle lock in the closed position is also featured. Kind to lines The clutch’s cam and base, manufactured from high grade extruded aluminium, feature a specially tempered tooth design which allows for maximum grip with minimal slippage, whilst being kind to your lines.
Stainless steel rope fairleads are fitted to both line entry and exit points; a feature which helps to prevent wear to both clutch and lines. Bolt-together construction for straightforward servicing The DO 550 clutch range features the advantage of a bolt together construction which allows for ease of servicing and replacement of parts.
A full range of components is available from our Barton stockist. Important fitting notes: rope clutches When fitting ensure a fair lead straight through the clutch to prevent wear to side plates and/or reducedload capabilities.
For best performance site clutch approximately 1ft (300mm) forward of the winch to ensure a fair leadboth vertically and horizontally. Use Barton deck organisers forward of the clutch to gain perfect alignment.
Always use a bolt-through fastening with a suitable sealant. A drilling template is provided on our packaging for your convenience.
Ergonomically designed handle The handle is strong and easy to grip, with a positive smooth lock and unlock action. A unique feature of this new design is the removable insert on the top face

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.
