I have a 1970s era O'Day Javelin that needs a set of jib cleats. DR Marine sells jib cleat cars, but it looks like the jib sheet blocks are original to this hull and jib cleats were never mounted (keep the crew busy?). I am planning to mount cam cleats on the centerboard trunk. I'm hoping there might be wood underneath the top of the trunk, but I'm not counting on it. There is a photo where cleats are mounted on a metal bridge spanning the centerboard trunk so as to have the cleats far forward. I'm assuming the bridge was fabricated as it doesn't look like standard O'Day equipment. 3-18 Move Main and Jib Sheet Cleats Forward and 3-19 Rake the Mast Forward to Correct Weatherhelm | Javelin Journal | 1973 O\'Day Javelin I'd appreciate hearing from anyone with experience mounting jib cleats on the centerboard trunk. Thanks!
