[quote=Edchris177][quote]The cleat is clever, but I think a bit overkill. 3/16" line works very well in the V-cleats. The cleat takes up a lot of space and it becomes bulky when you furl the jib.[/quote]
We use it because our cats are rigged & sit at my dock all summer. You simply pull tension, cleat, & go sailing. After return, simply uncleat, release some tension & furl.
The jib sits above the cleat, the sail never touches it. Once furled, the wrapped sail is much thicker than the little clam cleat, they are only what, 1 cm or so in height.[/quote]
