[Rhodes22-list] Spring Lines

[Gmorganflier]

After I bought my boat last July, I had cleats installed midship. I had seen
a video on how midship spring lines were helpful with docking. Since I was
brand new to sailing and boating, I wanted anything which might make
learning to sail go more smoothly. 

The type cleats I used and where I put them was a mistake. The sheets for
the 170 Genoa get hung up on them. I’m about to replace these standard type
cleats with retractable ones which hopefully will solve my problem.
