Good thread...; I have the Genoa track cleats and I find that they do OK for docking at, say a marina or other low stress location,but they ride over the toe rail and there is opportunity for chafe, so I don't trust them in high tension areas, or where there is a heavy current. I also worry about the angle of pull: if it's say, 80-90 degrees, will that warp or pull out the track? When sailing, there is a tendency for the jib sheets to catch on them, so I have to push them all the way forward to eliminate the ability for a flailing sheet to catch...otherwise, they're great and I am happy to have them.

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 !
