[C320-list] Traveler cleat

[Christian]

Track is 1-1/4". Catalina Direct sells 2 different models of midship cleats.

I chose the stainless model, and bought for both sides (this decision was
made to head off an argument of crew dropping one in lake trying to switch
sides on dock approach).

One thing about these on the track. Keep them pushed back as far aft as
possible when not in use. I have stumped my toe, and almost tripped,
running up a deck, and getting caught on a cleat.
