Detailed description
Detailed description
The Pixel sur Mer Exocet Release Cleat is a key component within the Exocet sail release system, designed for demanding marine applications. This release cleat ensures quick and secure release of sail handling lines through precise pneumatic control, essential for performance and safety on board. It integrates specifically into the Exocet ecosystem, working in synergy with components such as the Exocet Compressor Box and the Exocet Release Box, which manage the production, purification, storage, and distribution of compressed air required for its operation.
Integration and Functionality within the Exocet System
Unlike central Exocet units such as the Exocet Essential or Exocet Safety Pack, which combine navigation processors, data management, and autopilot functions with robust specifications (anodized aluminum, IP67, 9–51 V), the Exocet Release Cleat is a terminal actuator. Its function is to translate Exocet system commands into a concrete mechanical action: the release of sails. This distinction is fundamental to understanding its positioning. While ExoConnect Analog/IO or Serial boxes facilitate equipment connectivity and Exocet Voice converts alarms into voice messages, the release cleat is directly involved in the physical manipulation of sail handling lines.
Performance and Safety of Sail Handling
The effectiveness of the Exocet Release Cleat relies on its pneumatic control mechanism, ensuring superior responsiveness and increased reliability compared to standard manual or electromechanical systems. This technology enables instantaneous sail release when needed, a critical aspect for safety and tactical management during navigation. It represents a premium solution for racing sailboats or vessels requiring automated and rapid management of sheets and halyards. Its design aligns with the Pixel sur Mer philosophy of optimizing and strengthening Exocet systems.
