Mine bent a little so I stopped using it...I think it depends on how well the eye was welded to the push pit...the cleat is much stronger anyway and is a little further at the back which is best for trimming the genny...

Hi and thanks for all answers.
I am now going to fit two Wichard Padeyes just infront of the pushpit. I will fit a stainless steel plate underneath the padeye because i don´t think just the hull will hold that kind of force. I think this is the best looking way to do this. What do you think? /Henrik

Yes it is, but too much work and not the easiest access...

Have just found a thread where they discuss the options and there's a picture where Johan shows a simillar solution like I mentioned earlier....it's really simple and you don't have to drill anything....maybe you give it a try and then if you don't like it for whatever reason will go for some other solution??

Not quite sire how your eyes are formed but are you aware that the pushpit is only held by 6mm stud welded to the bottom of the upright It would not take much to shear this off |

To stop the attachment slipping put a small bolt through the hole just forward of the fitting. As it slides forward it hits the bolt& cannot slip anymore. The bolt does not need to be very big so it will not show |

It is not much work, Drill two holes, put sika in the hols and round the bolts, fit the bolts and tighten he nuts. I talked to the agen for spinlock in sweden (Liros ropes) and he told me that if I have Code 1 and the wind gets little stronger the force on the sheet could be around 2300kg.
Therefor I will do this right from the beginning and not use the pushpit or the mooring cleat. I don´t think the mooring cleat are made for forces from that angel. /Henrik |

The mooring cleat will definitely hold the load of a Code 0....the boat weight is almost 6 tons....imagine it jumping on the mooring ropes in heavy breese....
By the way...did you install a permament bowsprit ???

We always used the mooring cleats, without blocks; just guide the sheet through the opening of the cleat; relatively low friction, perfect angle for the sale and for the winches.
Cheap, efficient and effective, and should indeed be the strongest part of the whole cockpit and pushpit! Best regards, Machiel.

To run our gennaker I made two small slings out of 6 mm line material and pull these through the clamp holes and mount a Lewmar block on it. Bit same as pulling a sheet directly through the cleat hole but less friction. And indeed perfect angle to the winches on the coach roof, I only have the two standard Lewmar ST40's.
If the slings fail (or the cleat...) it is definitely time to go back into the marina and enjoy some beers... Easy, effective and cheap. It cost me the two Lewmar blocks at Euro 25 each + about 60 cm line. It is still on my To Do list to change to some nice Dyneema slings.... |
