How many 10-inch cleats are onboard?

• A. 4
• B. 6
• C. 8
• D. 10

Answer: (B)

Cleats provide the points where lines are secured during docking and mooring, so the number and placement of them on a boat determine how many lines you can handle at once and from which directions. For the 29'RBS II, six 10-inch cleats are installed—two at the bow, two at the stern, and two midships (one on each side). This setup gives multiple secure tie-off options from both ends and the middle of the boat, making docking and line handling flexible in different conditions and allowing you to use more than one line simultaneously without crowding. The 10-inch size reflects the need for heavy-duty cleats capable of taking larger mooring lines typical for this vessel. In short, six cleats provide the right balance of versatility and strength for routine docking and maneuvering.
