Subject: strong mooring cleat
Info: (21573 views) Posted: Monday 6-27-05 10:28:46 AM
As the proud new owner of #92 I'm trying to figure out the best way to attach mooring lines to the bow. Wind Wizard will be moored in an exposed anchorage and the existing cleats are way too wimpy.

I'd rather not install big cleats on deck that'll foul lines and sails. A bow eye was considered but it seems that the coring extends all the way to the stem and I don't know the thickness of the outer skin at the stem. The forestay fitting on the deck is a strong point but isn't set up for attaching lines with heavy forward loads.

Does anyone have a good solution or bright idea for attaching two 1/2" mooring lines off the bow? Thanks.
