Spinlock XCS Lock-Open Rope Clutch for 08–12 mm Lines
The Spinlock XCS Rope Clutch is designed for reliable mid- to high-load rope control in demanding sailing applications. Its durable alloy construction, secure cam system, and versatile mounting options make it an excellent choice for yachts, race boats, and installations where long-term strength and dependable line holding are essential.
XCS clutches are particularly well suited for mounting locations that require additional durability, including masts, spars, side decks, and coamings. They are available in multiple rope ranges, configurations, finishes, cam systems, and mounting orientations to suit different deck layouts and performance requirements.
Durable Construction
Aluminium side plates provide the strength required for sustained higher-load operation while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. Depending on the selected model, finishes may include white-coated alloy, black-anodized alloy, silver-polished alloy, or mirror-polished stainless-steel sides.
The extruded aluminium handle features a soft end grip for comfortable operation and locks securely in both the open and closed positions. Identification labels are supplied to help clearly mark each controlled line onboard.

Designed for 12–14 mm lines and available with a lock-open cam on selected variants for controlled free-running operation.
XCS1216

Ceramic Cam and Base
Selected XCS models are available with a ceramic-coated cam and base. This upgraded system provides consistent holding performance and improved grip when used with modern, high-performance lines.
Ceramic cam versions are particularly useful in higher-load applications where dependable holding and reduced line movement are priorities.
Lock-Open Cam
Selected XCS/L models include a special lock-open cam function. When the lock is engaged, the line can run freely in both directions while the handle remains closed. Normal clutch operation can be restored whenever secure rope holding is required.
This feature is useful for applications where temporary free running is needed without leaving the clutch handle raised.
Side Mounting
Side mounting is often the cleanest installation solution for spars, masts, side decks, and coamings. Selected XCS models are available in horizontal port and starboard configurations, while optional side fairings and mounting kits are available separately.
