Had the same problem singlehanding Halo (my Cherub) a few years back. The extra distance is just too much for plastic pipe - think about 3 feet is the max:-) |

I have used plastic pipe for tiller extentions on hiking boats for years and it works great. When I started twining on Aqua I made longer ones out of the same plastic pipe. It was all fine till I started going down wind got a bit of lee helm and the whole thing went like a banana, instant bearaway and swim. hence the rather agricultural reinforecement that was on at the blast. |

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

That is where the 3" length of garden hose comes in to play - sleeve the hose over the UJ and then over the bamboo... |

bamboo is really great i think! i used to sail with it and it was a
fine handling. only problem is that bamboo is much too heavy.

you can get bamboo in all sorts of sizes, admitidly the larger stuff will b harder to come by n might b slightly more expensive. Or does anyone know who makes smaller UJs (might b another way)

& on the topic, the £80 holt ones snap when you lean on em jus a little bit, and that was on my unicorn - its a flat boat?!?!?!?!? Oh well, carp handles are the way forward - but sorry lads, dont think ur 29er class rules will alow it. Let alone what packing you have for the daggerboard when doing the worlds
