In a blow and when hiking out, sitting forward and generally trying to keep the boat as flat as possible, I find that my hand is at the very end of the extension and consequently not that comfortable.

I was wondering whether anyone has replaced the extension with a longer one and whether if I changed it that would be breaking class rules?

cheers

Hi Mark
See ClassRules, under 'About the Class' (top of this page)
section.. '3. Permitted Placements, Additions, Alterations and Repairs.' (towards the end of the document)

I was thinking about this only the other day, but it's a trade off between having just enough tiller extension or finding it too long to maneuver under the boom.

Mark. I have fitted an telescopic tiller which works a treat. (Also useful for messing around when windy with a crew who don't trapeze!)
