[Rhodes22-list] Cam cleat Rules!

[Roger Pihlaja]

Ed,

I presume when you say "1" rail", you really mean a 1" x 1/8" Schaefer
T-Track?  If so; then, look in the 2003 West Marine Master Catalog on page
873 & order a Ronstan P/N: RF998 1" Track Slide with Stand-Up Spring.  Then,
turn to page 879 and order a Harken P/N: 187 Single Little Hexaratchet Block
with 150 Cam-Matic Cleat.  You would, of course, need to order two of each
for port & starboard coverage.  I prefer the Ronstan Track Slide because it
has a spring-loaded pin to lock it down on the track when you don't want it
to move & a tough replaceable polymer liner to allow it to slide on the
T-track under load.  Harken Hexaratchet blocks are absolutely wonderful to
use in a genoa sheet application; Torlon ball bearings are almost
frictionless & maintenance-free, the Hexaratchet system allows almost
effortless fine sheet trimming under load, & you can disengage the
Hexaratchet under load to let a sheet run free.  Harken's Cam-Matic cleats
are gentle on your lines, are easy to release, but also never slip under
load.  Try it, you'll really like it!
