My thought is to put a big cleat (8"?) on the foredeck (it'll go through into a king plank, so be pretty strong) and chocks on/near the breasthook for anchoring. Then I guess a bow eye on the front, for on the trailer. Then I get more confused -- I think I should put two cleats on either rail (4"? 5"?), near the rear and towards the front, for fenders, tying off at a dock, etc -- but I don't want to get in the way of sitting on the rails (it is a sailing dinghy!). I've also seen cleats on the front, middle of a rear seat -- I'm not sure if those are for hanging the main sheet on? Also, I think the cleats should go _on_ the rails rather than inside -- more likely to catch lines, but won't mess up sitting against the hull. But maybe that's a bad idea?
Anyone have some boats of roughly the same size that they can share what they have in terms of deck hardware? Or general thoughts? I've tried to search, but haven't found much that seems incredibly relevant!
