instead of leading the spinnaker pole topping lift aft to the cockpit, has anyone relocated the cam cleat to the base of the mast?

Here in Chicago, there was one boat that would do a foreward hatch takedown. We on Planxty douse into a bag in the companionway, almost always on the port side of the boat. We've never had a problem with the chute getting caught in the jib track.

Much like the suggestion above about the topping lift cleat on the mast, we have one for the spin halyard just below the mast exit. Works great for both hoists and douses. On hoists, the mast person gets the chute up and cleated and the pit person catches up when they can. On douses, just before the chute is ready to come down, we release from the cockpit stopper (after checking to be sure it's in the mast cleat) and pull the halyard forward to the mast base. Then the mast person can feed out the halyard as the pit person collects the chute without any conflict.
Just wondering, those of you who douse through the front hatch and leave lines connected. Don't you have any waves and/or spray where you sail?
