Does anyone have experience with a Swivel Base Cam Cleat? Harken sells the 205 cam base cleat.....Ronstan sells the RF7....they are both designed to use with a 57 mm block. I do race, but I do recreationally sail and really miss having a cam cleat (I have a new boat and have a Harken ratchet block and no cam cleat).
Any thoughts? I am familiar with the argument of "no" never use a cleat it will make you flip....so that isn't my concern....I mostly sail in light light air on lakes in Maine....I'm interested in the hardware itself and if anyone has had good or bad experiences with either a Harken or Ronstan. The Ronstan is adjustable to 3 different levels, the Harken is not.
