I have been watching some rigging videos and it seems like having a mast cleat is helpful (my ‘79 did not come with one). I searched the forum and saw a few references to adding them, but I have a few questions:
1) What is the right height to install it from the top of the deck or the bottom of the mast to the center of the cleat?
2) What size cleat and material ( brass, plastic, etc.) do you recommend? Is the replacement deck cleat available online suitable? Sunfish, Black Cleat (3-3/4), 91070
3) I am planning to attach it with stainless steel screws. Any reason why that is a bad idea? Tips/advice appreciated.
Thanks.
