Garrett fabricates custom through-bulwark cleats for the 38-ft wooden sailboat Red Aviva to replace temporary tie-off points on the stanchions.5:26 He sources inexpensive single-piece bronze chocks from a marine consignment store and pairs them with custom-cut black locust backing plates mounted on the interior of the bulwarks.2:09 The design features a hole bored through the bulwark and the locust block, allowing dock lines to pass through the hull and secure to the horns of the backing plate.3:00 Garrett bolts the assembly through the stanchions for structural reinforcement, noting that the bow-mounted versions will require additional bracing to handle anchor bridles and towing loads.3:47 He uses butyl tape for a watertight seal between the bronze hardware and the hull, then applies epoxy fairing compound to smooth the interior wood surfaces around the hole-saw cuts.18:01 The project aims to provide permanent, robust mounting points for dock lines while maintaining a functional, work-boat aesthetic.12:42
