[C320-list] Outhaul cam cleat or rope clutch?

[Warren Updike]

A couple of us have added a clutch for this purpose. garhauermarine.com is very helpful in this regard. They supplied the clutch to match ours with the necessary longer bolts to attach to the existing clutch group. Our sail loft advised that we likely won't need much adjusting. So far, we haven't. A cam cleat would also do the job; but, would need to be thru-bolted to the cabin. I though the additional clutch was an easier solution.

Planning possible upgrade since I acquired a loose footed main for Calypso. I want to be able to manage the outhaul from the cockpit and am looking for suggestions on how/where to cleat it off on the cabin top. Thinking either a cam clear or another rope clutch. Anyone done this?
I already have extra blocks for the base of the mast and doubled up the deck organizers. Just a matter of cleating it somewhere.
Thanks!
