[C320-list] Camcleat lock

[Denny Browne]

I replaced both of them a couple of months ago (after they'd been broken off for 9 years!), but the mainsheet crew didn't like them, so they took them off. I can't remember a time when the sheet has accidentally gotten stuck in the Clamcleat when we didn't want it stuck.
