C&C 30 jam cleat for reefing line

RickMan · #1 (**permalink**) 12-20-2011

Just purchased a 1980 C&C 30 and one of the two jam cleats for reefing lines that are mounted on the boom is missing. Does anyone know where i might buy a replacement for the original.

Call Rob at South Shore Yacht Sales, Virgil Ontario. Ex C&C parts supply chief and he probably remembers or has it in stock. Google is your friend.

You might consider upgrading to cam cleats or horn cleats.

Beat me to it... those old aluminum jam cleats are not worth 'replacing'. Fashion a bit of a saddle if necessary and use a cam cleat, though the horn is simple and trouble free (except possibly snagging another line at some point - or a spinnaker on a takedown)
