I want to add a couple of stern cleats to my Capri 14 ... one to starboard and one to port. I want them for docking and maybe hanging a rope ladder from. I'm thinking about placing them about a foot or so forward of the traveler holes.
My question is this: Anybody have any good suggestions for a backing adapter that would snug up against the bottom of the comming/gunnels (i.e. the outer edge, where the deck sort of curves down and forms an inverted U with the side of the boat). So far I'm using a split 5/16" dowel so the curved end would snug up against the boat while the flat end would receive a SS washer and nut.
Also, how do you spell coming (i.e. the outer edge of a boat)?
Answers to either question would be appreciated. Thanks!
