With the new Laser class rule (rule 17C), we can now use a cleat and shake for the hiking strap. I tried to mimic the configuration listed in the following page as an example (attached the photo also), but it did not work too well for me. It perhaps did not work well because the rope thickness and/or shackle size I used were not very appropriate. Does someone has successful experience on this? If so, could you tell me the size of the parts? Or, there may be some other better configuration?

Strangely, I do not find much article on this in the internet. Perhaps people may not see much benefit of using cleat? I usually keep the strap rather tight and do not adjust, but when I need to run tight reach course, I would wish I could make it tighter. So I am wondering if the new rule could make this easier.
Thank you very much,
Toshi
