Removed old corroded and broken deck hardware. I knew I had no hope of finding original cleats so I went with stainless steel loops on the rear port & starboard gunwales, with 100mm stainless cleats on both forward sides. The hull topsides original navy blue is obvious. I prefer the lighter blue, I think the dark shade would be very hot under direct Summer sun. I cleaned up the areas where the old hardware was mounted and placed a small section of outdoor grade vinyl wrap over them to keep rainwater out.

Temp waterproof cover over old cleat mount holes

port and starboard replacement mooring loops in 304 stainless. vinyl is a temp fix to cover and waterproof old mounting holes.

This was the bow cleat mount after the damaged cleat was removed. This is also the only mounting point that sowed any evidence of damage. Note the cracking around the holes. I will fix an aluminium plate on the underside when new cleat is fitted.

This was the only intact deck cleat on the whole boat. All the others were broken and badly corroded.
