A friend of mine sails with a spinlock cleat on the main of his N5.8. He likes it, however it hasn't held up well. So far he's gone through 3 of them. The upside is that the manufacturer has replaced them all at no cost.

I was ready to put one on my main last summer, but opted for the simplicity and durability of the cam cleat.
