We have a pair of foldable cleats on our 33-ll and the have worked well for us, and we need them for our slip. To me the hull deck join is one of the stronger sections of the board, and most of the load is almost parallel to the hull. We’ve had no issues in 10+ years of use, and my sister has them on her 30 with similar results.
I would not use them to tie off with the line at a right angle to thr hull though.

There is no place except the Toe rail to tie My fore and aft spring lines. And I need them on my docking situation. Question - Is this fine to do tie off direct to toe rail with clip of Carabiner ? and what are the methods of attachment? How about Cafe? Do the Toe Rail cleats ( foldable) they sell work ? or what about the or the cleat for the genoa track ? is this worth the price? Any other thoughts ideas are welcome THANKS !
