Nice! I have been hesitant to add cleats to mine as I don't see how they won't get caught up in the sheets

I have a very similar issue. I tie one line to the bow eye and the other line has a spring hook on the end which I snap around the traveler line. I have lots of bumpers on the dock itself. I have a number of cleats on the dock and I tie the boat up differently depending on the depth of the lake...

My original sail has both a bolt rope and a slug so I can sail it either attached it loose footed. With the shelf for have you tried sailing it loose footed?

I like the fact that my tiller can slide through the rudder head. It allows me to "shorten" the tiller if I need to

I must agree, controlling the jibe is essential

I found this mast caddy from Midwest Sailing for 36.00 plus shipping. It was on there overstock page, which is hard to find so here is the link: http://www.ms-pyc.com/parts_access/used_parts.shtml. There was no pic, so I called them and they described exactly what I used to have on my Holder 14...

thanks. I found the tuning guide and I'll search the owners manual
