I would not be without a centerline have one to both sides so when coming out of the wheelhouse just grab the one on that side and away you go. However looked at the broads cruiser and there is no where to put one so will have to suss that one out when the time comes I fitted cleats on either side deck on my Broads cruiser purely for boat handling purposes, worked a treat.

It happened to a bloke who used to be on canalworld. He was slowing the boat as it entered a lock by centre rope around a bollard. Roof ring broke (welded U shaped bit of steel has a very small weld area) the ring stayed on the rope and as the rope was stretched it slung the ring at him. Hit him in the shoulder. Imagine that in your face. Horrible. It was JohnJW, blimey that was yonks ago It was ChrisJW not John. I met him at a CW banter just after it happened and discussed it. Very nasty and wore glasses so could have been very very bad if it got him in the face. Don't know what became of him as he was a prolific poster then disappeared from the forum and never returned. Nice bloke.

Nice bloke. See, that shows how long ago it was, yes ChrisJW. Used to moor on the Tring summit and organised the Bulbourne Banter befor he set off north CC'ing. Bloody nice chap
