[Rhodes22-list] Re ply about jam cleat, furling line, etc.

[Michael D. Weisner]

Ed & John,

What is interesting is that my 1981 R22 has a "Lance Cleat" to control the 
furling line on the genoa, not a cam cleat.  The lance cleat never breaks 
loose, even when the line is grabbed during rough seas.  It takes a definite 
pull backwards to release a lance cleat and it does not chafe the line (for 
picture, see http://tinyurl.com/6ptxua )
