thats true. On my old moth i used 2 have a plastic drainage tube, probably a bit to flexy for a contender though

I'm probably gonna use bamboo wrapped in twine for my Contender, over £60 tiller extension on a £350 boat is an ickle bit of overkill

If you can stand the ribing in the dingy park then garden canes are the best bet, I have had mine on the boat for over a year and have yet to brake one sailing.
great if you are leaning to helm on the wire as they bend when you land on them. £2.50 for pack of 10 canes that are lighter than carbon ones is not bad, if Wood were manufactured it would be called a high tech material |

If it doesn't break it's too heavy; if it does it wasn't built right

Hi Just for your information a standard RS600 tiller extension is 2.1m. The LDC Ridge Stick that we sell for the RS600 is £64.95. It is made with a mix of Carbon and E-Glass which makes it very robust and very hard to break. The only draw back is they not quite as stiff as the some of the more expensive sticks like the C2 or TecMarine I have know these to break as well. I use the Ridge Stick on the RS800 and love it wouldn't use anything else. |

I use a Rooster on the Musto. Bov does excellent stuff and he's quite affordable. http://www.bovboats.co.uk/shop.php?section=carbon Rick |

Holt lightning sticks are rubbish (IMO) at our sort of length. I've got a Harrison one from P&B (£75 I think) which has proved stronger but the longest they do is 2m which I find just a little too short. Edited by Matt Jackson |

I've got an Ovington glass and carbon extension on mine, it's stiff enough for normal sailing but if you do fall off the side or anything like that, it has a bit of give in it so it won't snap. Bit pricey though, I paid about £110 but it works out cheaper than having to buy a replacement tiller if you do snap a conventional one |

I was crewing when we invented 'the sailmaker' Twin wiring up and down draycote on white water reaches with big wind with 'gust response' tiller extensions was one of the scariest experiances of my sailing career. I wasnt joking when I said its possible to tie the extension around the rudder either... |

Have you had a look at the Cherub website? The Strawb gave you the link... Any other DIY comment seems pointless. (The bucolic appeal of "The Gardner" is very tempting in this nice weather, but the Gallic touch of "The High Flyer" would get my vote.) |
