DC2 Double Rope Clutch

HIGH LOAD DOUBLE LINE CONTROL

The Lewmar® DC2 Double Rope Clutch is engineered to deliver powerful, reliable control of multiple lines in demanding sailing systems. Designed for larger rope diameters and higher load applications than the DC1 range, it provides secure holding and precise control for halyards, reefing lines, and critical control systems on performance cruising and offshore yachts.

DUAL LINE MANAGEMENT IN A COMPACT FORMAT

The double clutch configuration allows two lines to be managed independently within a single unit, reducing deck clutter while maintaining clear, organised rope handling. This compact, space efficient design is ideal for modern cockpit and coachroof layouts where efficient use of deck space is essential. 

HIGH PERFORMANCE HOLDING MECHANISM

Each clutch features a precision engineered jaw system designed to provide exceptional holding power under high load while minimising rope wear. This ensures that lines remain securely locked when under tension, while still allowing smooth, controlled release for accurate trimming and adjustments.

SMOOTH, CONTROLLED OPERATION

The ergonomic handle design allows for easy engagement and controlled release, even under significant load. This responsive handling improves crew efficiency and confidence, particularly during high workload manoeuvres or offshore sailing conditions where reliable control is critical.

MARINE GRADE DURABILITY

Manufactured from robust, corrosion resistant marine grade materials, the Lewmar® DC2 Double Rope Clutch is built to withstand sustained loads, UV exposure, saltwater, and repeated use. Its rugged construction ensures long service life and consistent performance in demanding marine environments.

CLEAN DECK INTEGRATION

With a low profile design and integrated functionality, the DC2 helps create a tidy, uncluttered deck layout. The dual line configuration reduces the need for additional hardware, improving system efficiency and overall deck ergonomics.

SYSTEM INTEGRATION & APPLICATION

Designed for seamless compatibility with Lewmar® deck hardware systems, the DC2 Double Rope Clutch is suitable for both new installations and professional refits. Ideal for performance cruisers and offshore yachts requiring reliable high load line control, it delivers a refined, system led solution backed by Lewmar’s long standing expertise in sail handling technology.
