I have had good luck with a ratcheting block with integral jam cleat, which is clamped onto my stanchion at the cockpit.
Just pull it in and you are done. If I think bad weather is possible, I will also cleat it.

Ice shanty or two (with trucks) still on Hessel Bay!! I have been searching for a new way to cleat my furling line. Currently have just a 'horned' cleat mounted on the coaming sidewall. I have been looking at Harken's 'flip-flop' (pivoting) block mounted to deck with integral cam cleat. It has approx 300 lbs capacity with 3/8 line max. Seems I could handle that from the helm better. Anyone have a better idea, or tried a similar setup? I don't like ratchet blocks...and have never seen a block set up like that. Experts?? Chuck Saur Daydream C&C 37/40+ Hessel, MI
