Keylime 0 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Hi, I’m replacing the main sheet on my Tasman 20, and would like to have a floor mounted block and cleat. Does anyone know where I can find one of these? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deep Purple 511 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 And very pricey. The issue you may have with that type of pedestal is engaging the cleat in a deepish narrow cockpit. But in a Tasman 20 you probably won't be loading the main so hard that you can't push it in with your foot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 399 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Looks like and old Fico block so the Ronstan options will be the closest - with adjustable cleat lead angle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marinheiro 352 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 there are not many options, this is the nearest I have found for a new fitting with an adequate SWL https://www.whitstablemarine.co.uk/products/barton-stand-up-pulley-block-with-becket-cam-cleat-size-3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good to have a couple of options. Thanks for your post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good to have a couple of options. Thanks for your post. interesting, never heard of Viadana before. The SWL is listed as 140kg, I suggest you find an online calculator (see Harken's web site) to check this would be adequate for your sheet loading Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aardvarkash10 959 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 there is a bigger one - 200kg SWL https://www.velasailingsupply.com/antal-swiveling-cam-cleat-w-60mm-block/?sku=ANT522.140&gclid=Cj0KCQjwiqWHBhD2ARIsAPCDzan2sVkH_BcNXF-IunmGSVYlN443o3aqECfIVcqCjmz_ZhHvT6J1D4EaAp7tEALw_wcB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytom 642 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 noticed your one doesnt have the track on the step by companway,so you cannot adjust sheeting angle,just been looking at friends and noticed the difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madyottie 82 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 This is the RWO version, available from NSB in the UK. Or you could just use a Ronstan RF58. It's a swiveling cleat with a stainless deadeye instead of a sheave, I've just bought one to end the mainsheet on a Noelex 22, which probably has similar loads.
