The "new" new owner is now Richard Woods! As to your question: I tied the bridle to the cleats that were on the outboard side and put a 10" stainless steel rub strake on the inboard side where the bridle would rub. It worked out well. Test it first with the bridle to see where you would need to place the rub strake.

: Hey Brad,
: When you hooked up a bridle for anchoring on bombay duck, how was the lead to the cleats that are on bows? In the plans, it seems like the cleats are pretty far to the outboard side of the hull. I'm guessing they're there so that it's easier to tie along side a dock. I'll be moored out the vast majority of the time, so I'm wondering if it would be smart to move them in a bit.
: I see you found a buyer for your romany. Where is the new owner sailing?
: We had an unusually early winter and late spring in Minnesota, so I lost more boat building time than I'd hoped, but I'm moving along now.
