Rod Another thought entirely. Rather than convert to wheel why not run jib sheets back to where spinnaker winches are normally located? If you do not have the second set of winches you could add them since there is a spot on most C&Cs for them to be mounted. Many people sailing short handed prefer this setup.

Chuck, I'm not totally married to the tiller idea but find the wheel a real nuisance when trying to get to the sheets. I do have an Autohelm 3000 that came with the boat so maybe that could help. David, I do have the emergency tiller for the boat but it looks like a big vertical crank with a square drive on the end. I can't imagine trying to steer with it for any length of time. Thanks everyone for the ideas and input! Rod
