cornamusa

Dado que nos dicen “stripper” OR “cleat”... en la traducción podemos usar “cornamusa” para las dos opciones o “una cornamusa o pieza encorvada que permite mantener la tensión del cabo”.

Merriam-Websters Unabridged:
stripper c : a metal point in a capstan for clearing away the cable as it unwinds

cornamusa 3. f. Mar. Pieza de metal o madera que, encorvada en sus extremos y fija por su punto medio, sirve para amarrar los cabos.

Buenos vientos y buena mar... (o como cantaba el otro... que tinguem sort...)
