[C320-list] midship Cleats

[Steve Magennis]

They lock in the holes JUST FINE.  You may have either a defective set
of cleats or a defective track.  Have you talked to Garhauer about your
problem?  It is important to actually align the pin with the holes, and
it is a reasonably precise fit, but I have NEVER had any problem
getting the pins in my Garhauer midship cleats to fit into the holes in
my genoa track, nor have they EVER slipped.
