[C320-list] Mid-ship cleats

[Chuck and Kathy]

Jeff: This looks like a great solution as the cleats are out of the way.  If
you just drill down straight through the rail, the bolts are accessible?  I
just assumed that I would need to move it inboard.  By the way, I looked at
all that you have done on Idlewild and you have an impressive set of
modifications.  Thanks for the help.

Check out the link below. These worked very well and the installation 
was not bad. The rail is over 1 1/2" of solid glass. Just backup with 
standard washers. There isn't room under there for a backing plate. I 
used a 2-bolt open base cleat that has a fairly narrow base so that it 
fit the width of the rail. I think the ones that I used were 6" Perko 
cleats. Catalina Direct has some 8" cleats that might work.
