[C320-list] Traveler cleat

[Chris Burti]

It is the standard 1-1/4" track. I used to stow ours on the inboard jib
track, but use them on the forward end of the Genoa track  to minimize
tripping issues while n use and when stowed.

 After installing Garhauer's  *EZ*-Glide adjustable Genoa car, I now leave
them on the Genoa track on deck since the front car is already there
permanently.

We have three cleats, two styles....Schaefer and Garhaur... I prefer the
Schaefer, both as to looks and function

I keep a sliding spinnaker pole ring on the starboard inboard track that I
use to attach our halyards when not in use.
