What do you want to tie off on the extra cleats?How high do you install extra cleats on a MacGregor 26M mast
That sounds like a good candidate for halyards led to the cockpit. I single-hand a lot and constantly worried what would happen if I fell overboard. On my 26S, basic setup is a tad awkward and takes some getting used to after the relative simplicity of working at the mast, but it's far safer staying in the cockpit.My stock location is just about waist high or higher. I actually liked the lower location that my V25 had. I could sit and cleat or uncleat if the weather demanded it. I would sit and straddle the mast to stay on the deck. Crawl back if I had to. The m is much more tippy and unstable. I would almost like to lower the stock mounting points.
