Cam cleats mounted outboard

I'm thinking of mounting cam cleats outboard from the mainsheet block on my Windflite. I'll only be doing recreational sailing and the mainsheet block is not a ratchet. I know I've seen pictures of this arrangement somewhere, with the cam cleats wedged in one direction. Can anyone tell me where I might find pictures of this hardware arrangement?
Many thanks,
B
 
It is probably heresy to suggest joining another forum, but the Sunfish_Sailor group in Yahoo (groups.yahoo.com) has a lot of good pictures posted on this topic. Once you are joined up and signed in, search "cam cleat" and you will see a lot of discussion, plus pointers to the photos section.

Hope this helps.

I see the two forums as complimentary in support of Sunfish and sailing. Lots of boats have multiple owner support groups. Have you noticed the two cross-reference each other constantly. Don’t know how that could be heresy. I for one am a member at both as well as Sunfish East & Gulf Coast and Sunfish Midwest and I visit the regional class sites and Starboard Passage, not to mention Sunfish on My Space, Face Book, YouTube, and more. Good information to be found at all.
