Open V-cleats? Ok, I just call them jam cleats. In any case, I would hesitate to use them for a halyard application unless it was for a temporary application as Dennis C. suggests. Having said that I use them for my headsail sheets and like them very much. We have no conventional cleats in SLY's cockpit, just these jam cleats mounted on angled brackets at all 4 of the cockpit winches. It is so easy to drop the sheets into these and release the sheets from these when tacking and while making small adjusts to any of the headsails including the spinnaker. SLY came to us with this arrangement many years ago. Great for racing. Dave. SLY 1975 C&C 33
