Position of swivel cam cleats for spinnaker?

Could someone please provide the measurement position of the swivel cam cleats for the spinnaker available from CLC. I don't think I will be ordering the spinnaker sail quite yet but I already have the cleats and they would be useful for attaching a bumper to at the dock rather than installing extra mooring cleats.

That is exactly what I did with mine...I hope to get the spinnaker later....I install the cleat at 32" from the cabin wall. I was wondering if you find the one for the jib to far to reach when sailing alone . What do you think ?. Thank you again for your blog...I must have looked at it a 1000 times great work...

The jib cleats are a bit of a reach but I find I usually don't have to reach for them when sailing. I just pull on the sheet slightly to loosen the tension and give a quick little flick of the sheet up and it is loose and I can then go pull in the sheet on the other side. Thanks for the measurement.
