Ditto what David said on tiller length. I added a longer tiller, stock item for a larger boat, and it’s perfect for single handing. First tried an extension but didn’t like the feel. Thanks to Doug King for maintaining, and paying for the site. I found my M-15 on it in 1998. Incidentally, Storm Petrel now resides during in the summer in a topless (mast-up) hoist on Seneca Lake, NY. Bill Riker M-15 - Storm Petrel

Funny, I extended my stock tiller 6 inches or so several years ago and have been very happy being able to sit comfortably further forward. I've never felt limited by the longer tiller when maneuvering. It hasn't even seemed to impact room in the cockpit much.

Skippers For tacking out the channel in light air I wish the tiller was about 1/2 its length Is there a telescoping tiller out there? Capt Jim
