ok... I'll bite. The image isn't all that clear for me but it looks like they have two lines each going to the pendent eye and back up onto the cleat. Which looks correct to me. So what am I not seeing?

George, Which bow cleats? Difficult to see from your photo. I’m only familiar w Moorings sail cats, but have seen some use the cleats on the bar between the hulls. Isn’t it preferable to utilize the cleats affixed to each hull? And of course, I concur the use of two lines to avoid chaffing of a single line.

Our Moorings cat had lines too short to tie from the hulls. We had to use the forward cleats (despite the warning stickers saying not to.)
