Hi all, my 1968 Cal 34 started life with a tiller, but a wheel was added at some point. It was installed way aft in the cockpit and makes it necessary to stand on the aft seat to steer, right on top of the mainsheet traveller. It was installed fairly well, but I am thinking of going back to the tiller as the wheel installation is really awkward.
I would like to hear from anyone sailing a Cal 34 with a tiller - is it a lot of work? I'm not a big person, and will be sailing with just my 12yo daughter for crew a lot of the time, so we need to be able to handle the boat - no deck apes available here.
Thanks in advance.
