We have the Wichard ones (three on each side) fitted for snatch and spinnaker blocks and the one fitted amidships works very well for the spinnaker guy blocks and also for securing dock lines when back alongside.

Similar quest here - The Johnson toerail cleat seems to be the go-to and is reported to work well in several past conversations on this list. https://www.defender.com/product.jsp?id=80333 Have been intending to try but have hesitated simply because of cosmetics, esp for the price here in Canada. Perhaps it looks more in person. Perhaps I should just get it done. (Lol). Have also been contemplating fabricating something. Related - Wichard has a toerail padeye - quite elegant but spendy. https://www.defender.com/product.jsp?id=125394 Dave - 33-2 http://cncwindstar.blogspot.com/?m=1 Sent from my iPhone On Mar 10, 2021, at 2:27 AM, Peter McMinn via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: A question for those of us with aluminum toe rails. I’d like to find a solution for midship cleating for docking/departing and springline placement. I’m currently securing a line around a stanchion mount, which seems strong, but I’d like to find a cleat that mounts to the toe rail. Haven’t seen anything in the catalogs. I’m thinking a carabiner or even a soft shackle through a rail hole might be a good fix. Given the general opinion that midship cleating is handy, I’m curious what you use.
