  3. Belaying The Meaning of Belay To make fast or attach to, e.g. Belay a rope to a cleat.

  4. Belaying The Meaning of Belay When a rope has to be cast off while still under strain, it cannot be secured with a bend or hitch, except perhaps a slipping one. It is therefore belayed to a fitting for the purpose, such as a cleat, stag horn or bollard. The action of belaying consists of taking sufficient turns round the fitting to hold the rope by friction when it takes the strain.

  5. When do we Belay to a Cleat? After we have been boating & return alongside the jetty we need to secure the boats lines ashore, when we have to tow a boat alongside or when we have to raise the main sail in a dinghy 9 times out of 10 you will have to belay to a cleat.
