Tiller extension
Can anyone tell me how long my tiller extension should be please?
Re: Tiller extension
Extension length can depend on the tiller length......
If the extension is mounted at far end ( from rudder)of tiller, if too long then when you go about etc it may get caught in the sheeting off the transom.
Imagine where you'll sit when sailing in a breeze, possibly sitting on the gunwhale and then measure from tiller, central to mid of boat to where your control hand will be. Probably a best guess between what is comfortable and what is practical.
