Hi all,
while racing recently I pulled out the top of my tiller extension. It happened while I was trapped out, it wasn't much of a problem but it was a bear to get the pulled out end back on while bouncing around on the water!
Guess I need a new one. I sail an Nacra 5.2 solo so I need a bit more freeedom of movement. Ie; I regularly sit right up at the front beam or trap out from just aft of the shrouds. I currently have a 4' to 6' aluminum twist lock extension. No idea about the brand name, but it is nice and thick! I'm looking for a little more length though, if possible.
I have used a Ronstan X-10 on a previous boat and enjoyed that, but that was a mono...
Any good tips? What do you guys use? Would a paint roller stick work?
Thanks, Dennis
