Bill,
This has been discussed on the list previously. Apparently the only boats  
that have the problem with the front cleat are those that are not using the 175  
genoa. My memory is fading, but I remember that Roger had a simple solution 
for  this problem, but I can't remember what it was.
I have never had the 175 genoa sheets hang on the front cleat.....they  never 
even come close to it.
