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

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  .

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