cleat/cam question
Installed a Garhauer Rigid Boomvang on my Mirage 25, and want to run the line back to the cockpit. Currently both halyards run back through twin rope clutch. Rather than install additional cam cleat on cabin top, or switch to triple rope clutch, I was thinking about installing a cleat on the lower mast, to tie off the jib halyard. I''ve added a roller furling last year, and don''t really make adjustments with the jib halyard. Does this sound OK, or should I think about a different plan of attack? Anyone add a cleat to the mast? Difficult? Should I add a cleat on each side, and run a single bolt through the mast, rather than rely on self-tapping screw? Any advice appreciated.
