[C320-list] Midship cleat

[Richard Grunt]

I have the Shaeffer mid ship cleat, used it for our spring line for 7 years, 
never any problem, moves out of the way when necessary.  The load is spread 
the length of the track, so no additional backing plates necessary. Also, I 
have removable U-bolts also I think from Shaeffer on the shorter tracks on 
the top of the deck which is the perfect place for securing halyards at 
dock, so that they are away from the mast, not clanging, and not stressing 
the stanchions.  I didn't know Garhauer made these cleats, but everything 
else they make is great, so I suspect their cleats would perform similarly.
