[C320-list] Jam Cleats

[Allan S. Field]

David - Seems to me if you left them open, that is one more thing to start
flying and potentially wrap around something that would be the hardest place
to unwrap from (Murphy's Law) if a strong storm comes through.  Would it not
also lead to the dreaded halyard slap, the bane of all marinas?

Embarrassed to ask this question---when leaving the boat should you open the
jam cleats (to save the lines better, but expose inside of cleat to
weather)---or leave them closed, jamming the lines?
