Does anyone know the size of the cam cleat on the mainsheet where it attaches to the traveler?
I want to replace the metal one with a Ronstan and don't know what size to get and I can't get to the baot for 10 days.

This photo of my old mainsheet fiddle block & becket with a cam cleat shows that the cams are about twice the width of the 3/8" sheet diameter, thus about 3/4" wide, maybe each 1" wide. I cannibalized it for my outhaul. Does this photo help?



I went down to my boat the other day, but I only took photos of the snow before I shoveled it off.

I can measure it on Pearl in the morning. I could really get used to this, having her docked about 20 feet from my back door.

Thanks Dave. I would appreciate that. Can you please measure the center of the hole-to-center hole distance?

I don't have calipers with me, but 10 different measurement techniques with a clear ruler and eyeball alignment yielded 43 mm with less than .5 mm variance and slightly less than 1 25/32", which is also approximately 43 mm.
