Not sure which lines you want the clutches to hold secure but have you thought
of mounting the clutches on the mast as opposed to on deck? They can be
installed in line with the line involved and can be mounted in drilled and
tapped holes, no concerns about sealing the deck from moisture.
Cheers,

Subject: Stus-List Two questions
Listers:
I have two unrelated questions:
1.. One of my winter projects is to dress up area around the small windows
down below using some wood planking (or batten strips, or whatever you call
it). The cabin deck is cored, so the ceiling in the middle of the cabin can be
screwed into. There is no coring around the windows, however; just fiberglass
(about ¼” thick). Any thoughts on how best to attach the planking to the
inside fiberglass? I suppose I could epoxy the planking in place, but this
seems like overkill and a lot of work.
2.. A second winter project is to reduce the number of winches on the deck
around the mast. I believe the easiest way to accomplish this, without going
crazy and rearranging everything, is to use two strategically placed rope
clutches. To mount each rope clutch on the deck at the correct height, I will
need to make a pad or something (like a winch pad, but for a rope clutch). I
could use teak, which requires maintenance; starboard, which does not; or
something else that does not require maintenance. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Matt
