Jib sheets stuck down the side of the mast
Has anyone else had issues with jib sheets getting trapped between the mast and foredeck, and is there a solution? Got a bit hairy in 25 knots a couple of weeks ago with the jib pinned in after tacking. Would a short piece of elastic across the deck behind the mast be a simple solution, or is there a better way?

I can't make Wanderer West, much as I would love to. Maybe one for next year...

Crew (children) will still need to put the pole in the spinnaker and change it to other side when gybing etc. It's also hoisted/dropped by the helm (at least in my boat) while trying to
steer and control mainsheet. I've derigged mine as it's too much hassle.
Give me assymetric any day

Hi all, another request for help!
I notice that some of the later Anglo Marine Wanderers have a spinnaker chute in the foredeck. Is there a template available
for this so it can be retrofitted? I know it will be a big job (winter project) but it should make spinnaker handling when sailing with the children a lot more friendly! I'm thinking I can take a pattern off the foredeck after covering it with release agent,
and build some kind of curved surround that will then drop in place when the hole is cut in the foredeck. Also is there a sock behind it, or does the spinnaker just go into the void underneath? As always, any assistance vey much appreciated.

Thanks all. I did consider going the whole hog and fitting an asymentric as I'm not racing anyway. Maybe one day!

Hi Johnathan Ian Porter used to sell a kit to retrofit the chute in the older Anglo Marine boats.? No sock is used, so you may need to smooth inside the foredeck to stop snagging and tearing the spinnaker. Good luck with the job.?? Mike Hamilton W992

Don’t bother.
More hassle than it’s worth

At the risk of continuing the debate, here is the finished product. I've put the rudder blade in a vice and leant hard on the tiller to test it. The aluminium rudder head bends before anything else and there's no movement in the tiller hinge. Having said that
it won't have any strength if raised so will need to be down for sailing. The rudder up and down lines need to be released to raise the tiller but it gives full access to the box.

Help please - How do I rejoin
Howdy - please can somebody explain how to renew my membership? - I’ve logged in - changed my password - do I have to wait for something to update before I can pay up for 2022 please?
Just can’t see where to do it.

Hope some of you might come along to Cornwall to Wanderer West next June.?
Would be great to see some of these boats out there and get a look at what people have done.

Yes, I did that with mine - two rectangular hatches either side of the centre line of the lid so you can lift either hatch without fouling the tiller and have access to the whole locker. Best mod I made to overcome that little design fault...
Measure twice, cut once when fitting the hatches!

Hi
A friend of mine has put a hatch in the top of the locker for very easy access without lifting the lid.

Hello Jonathan
I personally think making any hinge on the tiller is not a good idea.Thi does not mean I am right though.
If you do this it will be necessary to ensure zero play on the tiller which will be exaggerated massively whilst underway.Weather helm will make the sail very uncomfortable.
You don’t need to remove the tiller to gain accces to the locker.
Do you have a picture of your tiller?

W172 has a 43” tiller and the track is 6”. I didn’t reply at first because she is of questionable parentage ;-) with an Anglo Marine plate but a Winton era hull number (which has been discussed before) but I don’t think you will be too far wrong
with those numbers either. If you need any other measurements let me know.

Hi all,
Does anyone know the length of the standard tiller on an Anglo Marine wanderer? And the length of the top of the rudder head (aluminium track) it goes into? I think mine has been replaced at some time, and I'm now replacing that! Having
recently removed the traveller, I'm hoping to make a tiller that can hinge up to give access to the rear storage box.
Any help much appreciated.
