DC2 Single Rope Clutch

HIGH LOAD CONTROL FOR CRITICAL LINES

The Lewmar® DC2 Single Rope Clutch is engineered to deliver powerful, reliable control of individual lines in demanding sailing environments. Designed for higher load applications than the DC1 range, it provides secure holding and precise release for halyards, reefing lines, and key control systems on performance cruising and offshore yachts.

PRECISION ENGINEERED HOLDING POWER

At the core of the DC2 is a high performance jaw mechanism designed to grip rope tightly under load while minimising wear. This ensures lines remain securely locked without slipping, even during sustained tension or heavy weather sailing, while still allowing smooth release for controlled adjustment.

SMOOTH, CONTROLLED OPERATION

The ergonomic handle is designed for positive engagement and controlled release, enabling sailors to operate the clutch confidently under load. This responsive handling improves safety and trimming accuracy, particularly during high workload manoeuvres or offshore conditions where reliability is critical.

COMPACT, STREAMLINED DESIGN

Despite its increased load capability, the DC2 maintains a low profile, space efficient form. The single line configuration allows for flexible system layouts and clean deck organisation, making it suitable for installations where precision and space management are equally important.

MARINE GRADE DURABILITY

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

CLEAN SYSTEM INTEGRATION

Designed for seamless compatibility with Lewmar® deck hardware and rope handling systems, the DC2 integrates easily into both new installations and professional refits. Its refined design enhances deck ergonomics while supporting efficient, reliable line management across a wide range of sailing applications.

APPLICATION & SUITABILITY

Ideal for controlling primary halyards, reefing lines, and other high load control systems, the Lewmar® DC2 Single Rope Clutch is a trusted solution for performance cruising yachts and offshore vessels requiring dependable, high capacity line control backed by Lewmar’s proven engineering expertise.
