That's a slick-looking rig... How does it sail?

Dunno yet! I did get out to try it, but that was before I got the Sidekick Amas on. Check it out here: (function(d,s,id){var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if (d.getElementById(id)) return;js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/fr_FR/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.12";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, "script", "facebook-jssdk"));

I have replaced the cleats around the rear cargo area of my Revolution with Hobie screw-in padeyes. http://www.austinkayak.com/products/872/Hobie-Mirage-Screw-In-Pad-Eye.html . Could you have used these screw-in padeyes for tie-downs rather than stainless eyebolts?

Yes. And I considered this, but you loose the ability to quickly release the cargo bungee with those eyes.
