Hi Jonathan. I investigated this a few years ago. Hartleys sell a fibre glass turret that screws and binds into the back of the case tinted to the colour of your boat. They sell all the other stuff too. It ain¡¯t cheap but it will look like a professional job. Good Luck! Mark ?W914

I'm planning to convert my Wanderer (910) to centre mainsheet over the winter. The kids are getting into sailing it but struggle with the mainsheet coming over the tiller. So some questions, any help much appreciated:
1 Does the final block attach to the back of the centreboard case, and is this strong enough? I'm imagining some kind of wooden bracket to get the angle right. Also, I think that having it on the thwart would be in the way and prevent rowing?
2 Do I use a mainsheet jammer, or just a block? What equipment does anyone recommend? Is a ratchet block worth having?
3 For the forward block on the boom, how do I attach a bracket? Can I rivet in a bracket or strop to attach the block to? Is there something available or is it a case of making something?
Sorry it's so many questions, just want to get this one right...
