Yep. Open V-cleat or as some call them, clamcleats. To be technical, I think a jam cleat is a horn cleat with a V-cleat under one of the horns. V-cleats and clamcleats come in a variety of types. Not to be confused with cam cleats.
I thought I was the only one with V-cleats (clamcleats) for sheets. Touche' has same thing. Two pairs of V-cleats for the primary and secondary winches. Mounted on angled teak blocks. I like them for racing also. Every now and then a line gets cleated inadvertently. Dennis C.
