Hand-ee-Cleat® Makes International Boat Show Debut in Newport and Fort Lauderdale
Capabilities as both a hand-hold and portable cleat make Hand-ee-Cleat® a unique mooring solution
CAPE CORAL, Fla., Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Steele Development Group, Inc. today announced the international boat show debut of the innovative marine product "Hand-ee-Cleat®" at the recent Newport International and Fort Lauderdale International Boat Shows. These world class audiences greeted Hand-ee-Cleat® with a high level of interest and enthusiasm. Hand-ee-Cleat® is a portable cleat and hand-hold which can be temporarily affixed to any dock pole, piling, or other objects whether they are made of wood, steel, concrete, or PVC. This versatile, dual-function product makes your boating experience both safer and more convenient.
A common problem when boating is pulling into port and finding no cleats, broken cleats, and/or not enough cleats in the right locations. The patented cleat function of Hand-ee-Cleat® allows you to put a cleat just where you need it, without the damaging effects of a permanent attachment. The Hand-ee-Cleat® also has a patented "open-cleat" design that creates a sturdy hand hold which makes getting on and off a boat easier and safer. "I have two bad knees and had great difficulty getting on and off boats. I gave up boating. This 'handee' product allows me to easily, confidently, and safely board boats the majority of instances I couldn't before," said Dave Simms, Hands-ee-Cleat® customer.
Hand-ee-Cleat® is also perfect for customizing your home mooring for ultimate docking convenience when dealing with tides, attachment restrictions, and other mooring issues. The Hand-ee-Cleat® has infinite uses around the boat, dock and beyond such as carrying an awkward load or as a hand-hold while working on your sailboat's mast. "One of the things I enjoy is hearing from our customers about the new and innovative uses they have found for their Hand-ee-Cleat®," said Harvey Steele, President, Steele Development Group, Inc.
