My original M15 and my present M15 had the original black nylon jam
cleats. They all wore out in time, allowing the halyards to slip
through. Now I have mounted really neat English-made vertical cam
cleats from West Marine. They seemed terribly small when they
arrived, but they are up to the strain most admirably. They are keyed
red and green, and I have three each side of the aft end of the cabin
top. Port to starboard they hold: Jib sheet, one end of my double-
ended topping lift/Lazy Jacks (the other end is near the aft end of
the boom), jib halyard, main downhaul, main halyard and jib sheet.
Lines for the jib brailer and jib downhaul are on the outboard side
of the port forward gunwale. Photos of the cam cleats if anyone asks,
but not on here.
