J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment Double 150 cleats for Spin Halyard

using double 150s for the spin halyard is becoming standard ... here on Rhapsody #348 also adds easy way to keep spin halyard under control

I am about to install same on Breakaway
how did you mount them to avoid sharp projections within the mast?

#10 flat head screws measured so only about 1/4 in is inside mast ... they don't really line up with ropes inside the mast i'm thinking ... we do now use the Harken 438 adapter plate. I did a couple last week and was pissed off to find the original installed one was done with #12 screws and a couple of plastic wedges... and zonked in with 5200 and bent. why anyone would use a couple of #12s to anchor a spin in the winds that J30 nuts like to fly spin is beyond me.

fortunately the #10 tap worked perfectly in the taped #12 hole.
