My 'fish doesn't currently have a cleat for the mainsheet. I've been looking around at different kinds of quality swivel cleats, but they're all pretty expensive. Would this Ronstan V-cleat work instead?
I guess the downside to this might be that it would be hard to ease the sheet while hiking, since it's stationary and won't swivel. Let me know what you guys think.

A friend of mine came across this swivel cleat, and yesterday I sailed with the new cleat for the first time. It's small, didn't get in the way, but also appears to be very durable and did it's job well. As I couldn't seem to find another swivel cleat that wasn't around $50, I'm very happy with this.
