Hello Don: Just went out and measured my forespar tiller extension and it is 27 inches long and extends out to 47 inches. Had it for 30 years so I am not sure if forespar still makes it in that length. Has worked very well for me as it is useable as far forward as one can sit in the cockpit. I just recently purchased a tiller clutch and have installed it but have not sailed with it yet.

I use a Ronstan Battlestick for my M15 and like it. I think it's 18" but not sure. The round golf ball sized, foam encased end is comfortable and easy to grip.
Now contemplating Tiller Tamer vs Tiller Clutch...the latter seems to have a loyal following.

After reading recent posts that the M15 sails better with weight forward got me thing about tiller extensions again.
What are other M15 sailer's using and how is it working out.
Forespar has a 24 inch extension for a reasonable price. Has anyone used that one?
Thanks Don M15-248
