I used a generic 4-inch $1.69 black plastic cleat.
But I rarely adjust it, and I could have simply lashed the clew of the sail to the end of the boom, the way Pocketship #1 is currently set up.
More important is the reefing set up. You really must have easy-to-use reefing, and the plans and parts list do not cover it at all.
I added the deluxe single-line setup that PS #1 currently has. (You can see it in the PC photo gallery at clcboats.com: look
for the photos labeled "This series of photos is from mid-May 2019"). This setup needs a bunch of hardware and probably
cost me about $200, but it is easy to use when things get rough.
