Cleats

I have fastened cleats at the four corners of the boat.
Here is the port bow cleat and fairlead.


I positioned the cleat forward enough so the hatch lid can open without touching it. Also the fairlead is hopefully positioned in a good spot where the anchor bridle won't interfere with the forestay bridle.

And here is where I have positioned the aft port cleat.


No surprises here really, though I thought about putting it on the lower area near the transom I thought the higher position suits me better.
It is a bit of a guessing game with things like this at the moment. Hopefully after getting out and using the boat, the choices I have made turn out to be ok.
