Old Bombay II - Jib Sheet Cleat Most of my sailing is solo. Early on I had a big problem when tacking, The jib cam cleat was positioned and angled so you had to move forward to make it catch. I changed out the stock cleats with Harkin model 240 “Swivel w/bullseye & 200 Cam”. West Marine has them in the catalog for $39.25 each. To mount them, I took the old cleats off, used one of the existing holes and had to drill two new ones (each side). It was a 10 minute job and it makes a big difference. As you can see from the pictures, the swivel follows where I am, I don't have to move to where it is. This tip submitted by Mike Shetter, send comments to him at mshetter@ix.netcom.com
