Jesse,
I assume my photos of that got stripped away, I tried attaching them as pdf’s. Any help from da list to format them correctly on that is appreciated.

My midship cleats are movable on a 1” T-track, same track as the jib cars move on. As any tension is shearing against the mounting screws for the track, I drilled and tapped 1-1/2”x1/4x20’s into the toerail. These were installed when the boat was new 23 years ago, and there has been extreme pressure fairly constantly from April through November storms, up to 4’ rolling waves with heavy tidal swings all through my time in less safe slips. So they are stress tested.
