Tiller Extension Fellowship 27

thingiverse

I wanted a tiller extension for my boat, a Fellowship 27, but finding one that fits was tough because the tiller is rounded and not straight. Also, I didn't want to attach any joints at the start of the tiller because I often steer with it between my legs - which can be painful. So, I made one using a stainless steel pipe, bending it into the right shape and securing it with an elastic rope from an old luggage strap. I tested it for a while and it's strong enough and works well for me. The handle grip came from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:873287, and I scaled the tiller arm retaining clip to match my needs from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:901813. I'm grateful to both designers for their work.
