A question to kickingk:

- why did you have to rivet the cleats when you had inside access for bolts and nuts, as obvious from the calm cleat near by which is bolted?

[kickingk]

The cleats aren't really under any pressure and its easier & quicker just to use the rivets.

More importantly the holes in the clam cleat are only about 3mm diameter so won't accept a rivet. I'd happily rivet it all if I had to, the Pad eyes that the bungee are fixed too have been riveted on my X Factor and theres no sign of them failing & that takes some doing considering the weight of a X and not least me

I can see what the clam cleat is for. But why the other cleats. I may sound stupid! , but can you show how you rig the anchor rope. Thanks

This cleat is to fix the trolley rope so the carabina does not move back from the bow or the stern block:

Or you can use this type of cleat for anchoring from the bow only:
