Searching for this block and cleat

Harken should have something suitable, Fosters are the agent in Auckland

This is what I’ve found from Harken. It’s two-part, and pretty big and chunky

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.

there are not many options, this is the nearest I have found for a new fitting with an adequate SWL

Thanks. I got this recommendation on cruisers forum. https://www.velasailingsupply.com/viadana-swivel-base-w-adjustable-ball-bearing/?sku=VIA20.03&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpKyaip3S8QIVhLaWCh0npQyrEAQYAyABEgJoLPD_BwE

 

Keen to find something in NZ as shipping atm takes ages.

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

right - it does seem quite low! Too low

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.
