Hi John, I too, like to sit at the forward end of the M15 cockpit and find that the tiller is too short for comfort. Using the Forespar tiller extender, is a partial solution, but the angles of tiller extension to tiller itself are wrong. Yesterday, I was out sailing and came up with a mock-up of the tiller so that I could check on just how long it had to be for comfortable single-handed sailing. What I did was to lash the Forespare Tiller Extension to the tiller itself, using a bungee cord. Now I could extend the tiller extension, and play games as to length desired for comfortable sailing. I was surprised to find that what I really wanted was a tiller about 54 inches long, and with an upwards curve, maybe about 3 inches higher than where the current tiller lies. My thought is to make myself a long wedge-shaped block to sit on the top of the tiller, into which the Forespar tiller extension fits and is fastened in place with a bungee cord. Now as a lash-up, you have the best of all worlds: the length you want, and you can also play with the height by varying the angle of the wedge block. My first attempt at this was such a resounding success, I'm going out to play with the idea some more this afternoon. There is another subtle benefit to this set-up. With the much longer tiller, it is two finger sailing, and rudder delections are very much smaller because of the added tiller length. Happy sailing Connie M15 #400 LEPPO
