Jamming cleats
The jamming cleats are placed above the hole, so that the control lines are pulled tight and cleated in the same movement (this is not so easy when the cleats are placed below the holes). Whenever possible, they should be close together, so that the two control lines can be knotted together, which ensures vane is connected with rudder amidships and servo-pendulum vertical and makes it easy to visualize how much weather (or lee) helm is given, if any is needed on a given point of sail.
