I have just bought a Bavaria 36 cruiser and it doesn’t have any deck gear for a Spinnaker (in fact it doesn’t have much deck gear at all !). I am putting a Assymetric / cruising chute on with a Bowsprit for easy Gybing. My specific question is on the sheets. Has anyone used the mooring cleats at the rear (and possibly the middle for a barber hauler) to rig swivel blocks with strops that can be put on and removed as required. I thought this would avoid drilling holes in the deck – are the cleats strong enough ?
Thanks for any advice.
