MID-SHIP CLEATS INSTALLATION

Installation of Spartan mid-ship cleats.

Here they are: Spartan's mid-ship cleats, another one of those things we've been wanting to add but haven't had the guts to go ahead and buy. Well, after many frustrating experiences when we wished we had mid-ship cleats, we placed the order and we will be installing them soon.
6.10.05 - They're in!! It took me about four or five hours to carefully chisel away the toe rail, but they're in and it's a perfect fit. What more could you ask for?! I'd detail the installation here, however, I've already written it up on the Ariel Blog.
As you can tell from the pictures there is some more work to be done on Ariel. In the picture at left you can see where the rub rail has cracked - not to mention the scrubbing her topsides desperately need.
