Love these boats!!

If you guys have any pics showing the details of the Bow Cleats (preferably ones with 2 cleats) it would be greatly appreciated.

Trying to rig my "flat deck" 24 that was only used for racing and want to get the cleats and chocks in the correct location.

Also any measurements of spacing between the dual cleats and distance back from the chocks would be fantastic!

Thanks!

Dave

OH, pic of my "mini-flat deck"...the whole deck is flat from bow to stern. :-)

Wow, thanks Rick!

If at all possible, if you could measure from the aft chock mounting screw to the center of the cleat and then the side to side spacing between the 2 cleats (center of cleat to center of other cleat).

Since I already have markings where the chocks go I think I can get it laid out with just those 2 measurements.

BTW, Doesn't have to be down to 32nds or nothing, closest 1/4" etc would be more than fine...no dial calipers needed...LOL

You guys are great!

Pic for reference of what I am talking about....




Thanks again and have a great Labor Day weekend!!!

78CIG24 here are few pictures of the chocks and cleats on the bow of my flat deck. The chocks are 1 inch from the edge of the deck to screw center and 9 inches from the tip of the bow. The cleats are 8 inches center to center and the cleat base is 20 inches from the tip of the bow. Rick G.
