I was recently thinking of adding a mid-ship cleat to my C&C for just
this purpose, but did not like the idea of putting it through the
deck. Was recently aboard an old S2 that has a slotted toe rail a
lot like C&C's. The owner had added a mid-ship cleat with a
sideways, U-shaped flanged base (if you can imagine it from that
description) that was bolted through the toerail. Had never seen a
cleat with that kind of base before. It seemed like a nice solution.

Mid ship cleat? What's that?!!
You guys don't actually sail C&Cs, do you?!!
(I use the primary winch as a spring. Not quite "mid ship" but works
almost as well for snugging up to the dock)

“Short spring from amidships” is more properly called a breast
line. And that is ALWAYS the first line over when I bring the 72’
schooner I captain into a dock (or a slip).
The fact that you know and use the process indicates to me that
you are a competent skipper, Joe.
I am often amused – and occasionally terrified – to watch the
captains – even experienced captains of larger boats – who just
seem to insist on approaching the dock from 45 to 90 degrees, and
then getting a bow line over.
I’ve tried to explain the process to I-don’t-know-how-many small
boat skippers over the past 4 years, but they just don’t seem to
grasp that once the breast line is attached to the dock (or a
piling), you can use power to pull the boat snug to the dock and
set fore and aft springs to position the boat, and power against
the springs to pull the bow and stern in against any combination
of wind and current.

Use a short spring from amidships. You can hold the boat on with
forward or reverse as needed.
I use this with great effect when parallel parking singlehanded.
