Holding the tiller extension

   Hi, thanks for the reply. It's a Xenon. I hike if there's enough wind, but when 

there isn't, like you, I have the problem.

	Hi, I'm trying to adapt my helming technique to the modern RYA 'crossed daggers' method. However, I'm stuggling to change the habit of a lifetime - ie. having the tiller extension over my rear shoulder - and find that the extension is hitting my chest, thus restricting the amount of movement I can make with it. Any tips? Phil
