<< Hi
All this talk about anchors has made me wonder.
Has anyone had one of those nylon cleats break on them?
Nylon is the only type I have on my new boat so
it makes me wonder,

Hi Tom,
I'd be more concerned about it pulling out or damaging the deck if you had to
be towed than I would about breaking the nylon. I haven't looked carefully at
the new P19 cleats, so I can't address the adequacy of how it's mounted.
I have a large one attached with four 1/4" or 3/8" bolts and huge fender
washers on Redwing. It's bedded twith polysulfide Life Caulk hrough a solid
epoxy fillet on the deck, with no exposed woodcore in the hole, in case I ever
need a tow back home in wind, chop and swells.
Regards,
Judy B.
