Would like to find a cam cleat that could attach to the hobie slot system on the passport 12.0 to hold the main sheet.
I have seen one V-cleat but I would rather use a clam cleat.
Would be nice to slide one into the slot and tighten it down.

Hi I love sailing my PA 12! I use the H-rail, instead of the slot system. I got the "H-Rail Mounting Plate, attached it to the H-rail on the starboard side (close to my knee), then screwed a small block to the plate, so that the mainsheet comes from the stern, to the block, and is now coming back towards me. I then screwed a cam cleat to the same plate, so that I can easily lock down it or easily release it. And since it's mounted to the H-rail, I can till the angle (which helps in making it easy to lock down or release). Also, having it mounted close to my knee, makes access quick. Oh, I forgot to mention, that I also had to raise the block a 1/4' (I used a thin sheet of marine plywood) so that the sheet fed into the cam cleat correctly.

Hope that helps,

Mike

Im having fun with my new Passport 12.0 and will be adding the sail soon. It came in the mail a few days ago. I have a cleat system that will
work and I also have the furling system setup with a way it will work fine for me.
