[C320-list] cleats

[cdickhut2 at aol.com]

I added the midship cleat years ago to the Genoa track. The best investment I have ever made for the "Admiral". When we leave the slip I hang the spring line on a hook at the end of the slip. When we return MArilyn goes forward with the boat hook grabs the spring line walks it back the the boarding gate and than forward to the midship cleat. Once the spring line is secure she knows we cannot hit the dock. If there is a cross wind pushing the stern off the dock I just put the boat in forward gear and turn the rudder to turn away from the slip. The stern moves up the the dock and a stern line is attached. Boat secure.

Has anyone added midships cleats to their boat and if so, how?
