[C320-list] Camcleat lock

[pat reynolds]

I removed that red clip 14 years ago when it broke.  It is completely unnecessary.  When you have the sheet on the winch it  will not catch in the cleat.

My understanding is that it isn't a "hold down".  When in place, it
prevents the mainsheet from entering the cleat, i.e. the sheet runs over,
not under the red bar.  Right?
