cleat/cam question
I sail a Capri 25. My spinnaker halyard ties off at self jamming cleat 3'' feet off the deck. Has never been a problem. I intend to replace it this off season with a mast mounted cam cleat about 6'' feet off the deck to make spinnaker handling a little easier for the foredeck.
A majority of the boats I''m familiar with that have roller furling, cleat the halyard off at the mast and hang the halyard coil off the cleat.
I would recommend drilling and tapping the two cleat mounting screws into the mast and not worrying about a bolt through the mast.
