I found this picture of a 1995 Hunter 430 and noticed something very interesting...cleats on the bow. The only bow cleats our Hunter 430 has are tucked away in the windlass lazaret well protected from being useful 90% of the time. I'd like to retrofit our Hunter with these external cleats for several reasons:
- Ease of use for general docking
- Reduce sailing at anchor
- Reduce chafing of dock lines (currently routed through bowsprit causing significant chafing)
I have no idea how difficult it would be to accomplish this so if anyone can shed some light please do.
