For the latest "Azure" Njord I did something that looks similar except mine are rectangular. I made a mold and cast 18 of them. I then cut a rectangle in the deck and then epoxy the fitting in place. Two holes are drilled from the inside and a piece of 316 stainless rod that is bent to shape is slid in. The inside is epoxied over. For now the picture will have to do. I'll be writing up a more detailed blog entry on how I built them soon... I did get the idea from Ulf Johannson in Sweden. Picture from his site.
