35-3 stiff helm

Fancy way to temporarily store the wheel.

Or, just convert to a tiller... which hinges up out of the way for social times.

The Edson gadget looks neat, will a Yacht Specialties wheel fit?
Wait, I’m gonna “just” convert to tiller .

Hi Loren,

That thing looks way too sophisticated for my cheap Scottish ways. Neat solution, though. I would love to switch to a tiller but the "T" shaped cockpit bench arrangement would not work well. The carving out of the benches and the rebuild is a bit much for me at the moment. I can always sail the San Juan if I get too much of a hankering.

Let's see, "How do you tie that square knot again?".

I save string. This rail "fitting" is 12" of it.

Ah! Geez! I'm getting embarresed into doing something classier. I think i can dig through all my accumulated spares for something that will work and not have to cough up the $135 for the "fancy" one that is in with the "in" crowd.
