Cleats! Cleats! Cleats! All kinds!

Love this page :neofox_heart:

thecheappages.com/boat/matl/cl

a screenshot of a webpage featuring assorted cleats circa 1885. The text reads: Paget's Patent Rocker Cleat "They hold with one turn, but are clumsy looking, and, large or small, are all made for one size of line, that is, blind cord." The "Sunflower" "...sold for blinds. I don't know its trade name. It must be fixed with its head toward the strain, and one turn will hold anything if the pull is steady." "Now for home-made cleats. As good as anything are well-made ash cleats, which anyone can make for himself. Each cleat should just admit the line to jam between it and the deck. They are light, and like the leather cleats, they do not injure the hands or the paddle that happen to come against them."
