Was recently aboard an old S2 that has a slotted toe rail a lot like C&C's. The owner had added a mid-ship cleat with a sideways, U-shaped flanged base (if you can imagine it from that description) that was bolted through the toerail. Had never seen a cleat with that kind of base before. It seemed like a nice solution.

You guys don't actually sail C&Cs, do you?!! (I use the primary winch as a spring. Not quite "mid ship" but works almost as well for snugging up to the dock) Steve Suhana, C&C 32 Toronto On Thu, Oct 27, 2016 at 8:32 PM, Rick Brass via CnC-List<cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: "Short spring from amidships" is more properly called a breast line. And that is ALWAYS the first line over when I bring the 72' schooner I captain into a dock (or a slip). The fact that you know and use the process indicates to me that you are a competent skipper, Joe. I am often amused - and occasionally terrified - to watch the captains - even experienced captains of larger boats - who just seem to insist on approaching the dock from 45 to 90 degrees, and then getting a bow line over. I've tried to explain the process to I-don't-know-how-many small boat skippers over the past 4 years, but they just don't seem to grasp that once the breast line is attached to the dock (or a piling), you can use power to pull the boat snug to the dock and set fore and aft springs to position the boat, and power against the springs to pull the bow and stern in against any combination of wind and current.

You can hold the boat on with forward or reverse as needed. I use this with great effect when parallel parking singlehanded.
