I've not tried them myself but they did have a demonstration set-up on a stand at this year's Dinghy Show - the plastic 'keeper' arrangement worked far better than I'd expected but not sure how much it costs in comparison to the standard set-up

Cheers,

From what ive seen of these you have to buy the deck cleats and clocks etc.. all sperate however the deck cleats sell for about £30...so its considerably cheaper...i was just wondering if they are any good like
 
Do bear in mind though that these are not class legal so you may find yourself on the receiving end of a measurement protest if you got to an Open meeting or regatta.
 
I dont think its a good option, but....You can build yourslef a riser(baseplate) and attach 2 microcleats with extreme angle fairleads for alot cheaper than buying the expensive set. The baseplate is NOT class legal if that matters to you, but it works well(just like the expensive system) and saves you some coin.
