I need cleats on the deck. I never thought I used them that much until borrowed another boat that didn't have them and was lost without them.
The main use of a deck cleat is to act as a extra hand for those times when you need to make adjustments.
Once you give them a try , you will wonder why you waited so long to do it.
Whilst watching some of the Laser vids on youtube I noticed some people use their teeth instead of cleats.
A large number of competitors at this year's Worlds must be missing out, then. They even went through the extra trouble of removing them.
You've definitely mastered the art of internet sarcasm, though
No sarcasm intended Shatty. I am sorry that you read that and just saw sarcasm..
Is your detector not functioning correctly perhaps?
I need them.
They are not used for cleating the main whilst racing, only for when I need a free hand to adjust something then I might cleat briefly. Probably cleated for less than 1% of any race but I like having the option.
Their other big benefit is when you have been on the water for 6 hours, sailed 3 races and have a long sail home and are knackered. Then I will happily cleat the main and cruise home.
