[C38] Another Toe Rail question

[Steve Smolinske]

We use a cleat amid ship on the genoa track, mostly for docking, I love
it.  It makes single handed docking and pulling into tight slips a
breeze.  I really try to avoid the well intentioned souls on the dock
who want to help by pulling on the life lines or the stanchions.  For
spring lines I just loop through the toe rail, in the five years I have
had the boat I just shortened the lines recently for the first time to
remove the chafed area.

Max,

We bought a couple of Shaeffer cleats to use on the outboard track
amidships.  I thought we'd only use them for spring lines during winter
storms, but since we moved to a downwind slip they are always in use. A
great investment.

I'd love to see how these forepeak modifications turn out. I've been
wanting a bow roller for IRIE, having the anchor live in the anchor
locker is a pain, but haven't seen anything on other boats that looks
right.
