One of my boats uses this old system, it is a little hard to uncleat at times. |

As far as I know, the next version of the jib sheet system used the same track and looks like this. If you are willing to replace the track there may be better options, but this one at least has a modern cleating configuration (up to release):

Do not waste your time fiddling with those old Seaway cleats. There is no adjustment you can make that will make them work well. I suggest you consider the latest version of upgrade jib cleates that work with the “old” tracks. You can get a full kit that allows remote traveler adjustment or just buy the cleats themselves if you don’t want remote adjustment.  https://www.murrays.com/product/01-3120/ sm |
