I think the one on Strawbs was a good place if the kicker is arranged so that it does not get in the way.

Strawberry's (and Ronin's) kicker attaches to the mast stump.

Thanks Stu, How did that system work out?

It always worked just fine for me.

The self tacking jib arrangement on Banshee Ambulance is not really working out, almost to the point that the boat is unsailable. I was wondering if anyone has used a mast swivel type cleat and mounted it on the mast. Provided that you could cleat and uncleat from the rear of the boat I would have thought that would be as good a place as any to put it?

Could you post a picture, it all worked fine when I had it!

No, it is larger and does not have a hole up through the middle.

That is the same fitting as on Numb (though on a larger post than mine)

OK, James Brace has swapped it for the main sheet jammer. Do you have the other acetal plastic mount that goes in the tower?

As the the boat has obviously had a lot of time spent on it, that explains a mystery.

Rob, If you can get in touch with James I'd propose a swap. The fitting you have is there is worth a lot more than the fitting you want. The one you have is also more likely to be of use to James if he is going onto another single handed boat.
