We have the Garhauer cleats and they work great. Not as pretty as the Schaefer but like most everything made by Garhauer, less expensive and built to last.

The Garhauer midship cleats you see in the website are not what you get.  They changed the design and are not that nice.  It's not a cleat mounted on a slide, but a handmade cleat (two vertical posts and one horizontal) mounted on a slide.  Very weird looking.

We have what is shown in the catalog. I'd be surprised if they would not make what is shown upon request.

I ordered the Garhauer cleats and when they arrived they were completely different.  I called and they said they changed the design.  I returned them and bought the Schafer cleats.

Even though they are expensive, I love my schaefer mid-ship cleats on my tracks. I have long forgotten what I paid..... (not really!)  :D But they sure look nice....

I just realised when sailing I can use my shaefer mid ship cleats on the outer rail as furling cleats if slid back

You can also make up a small loop through a beckett on a block.  Then looped through the open part of the cleat.  Then use that for outboard sheeting the genoa.
