[C320-list] Mainsheet Clam Cleat Replacement

[Roger Nitkin]

 Joe,
I'm referring to those plastic jamb cleats for securing the mainsheets when they're off the winches.At least on my '97, they don't work well at all.

 Roger, do you really mean cam cleat? As Sara pointed out the mainsheet is a jam cleat. The 2 cam cleats are for the main traveler. On Whisper #772, the jam cleat still works, but long ago I moved the traveler cams to the aft edge of the cabin top--MUCH BETTER!

Roger,
If you get positive comments about the Jamb Cleat kit please pass it along. I would love to replace the clam cleats. They are horrible!
