Nope, sorry. Bobsprit might, though ;)

It's fairly simple... on your Cal 20 you could spread the top of the 'V'
further because you don't have to clear anything other than the aft end
of the seats, right? But you don't want to create a tripping hazard,
which is why I went that route instead of just athwartship.


The tiller tender I have uses two lines that run aft in a V. Actually,
it's one line. The tiller itself takes up half of the cockpit.

I use a "tiller tamer" on my boat. It usually gives me 30 seconds to
a minute of hands off to do stuff in higher winds and longer in
lighter winds. Nothing electronic about it... best investment I ever
made for single handing.


I looked at one at the local West Marine store, and asked myself what it
would give me that my line running across the cockpit with a loop in the
middle for the tiller and doesn't give me.



You don't own a worthless Cal 20. Any improvement, ANY inprovement
at all raises the resale value to just above zero.

Many someday he'll fix the winches.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

You're starting to rant. I know you're jealous of my fine vessel, but
do try and type in English.

Are you trying to say that I do or do not own a Cal 20?

Why would I want to fix something that isn't broken?
