C-025 Bisquit

[ebb]

Thanks for telling the tale...
And showing us how to stack together a new tiller!!
'S' curves are sexy. You've got a beut!

Came to the same conclusion, but had mine made.
Less knees to crunch, but also the massive tiller fitting was
pretty bent on A-338, and the bitty machine screw that holds
it all together was worn enough to require replacing....
thought that an upstanding tiller (named mine: Cobra)
would keep more square mm of metal together at the fitting.
Standing in the cockpit be able to steer with the tiller
almost in an at rest position, fully engaged. Where it ought to
be when sculling. And on a broad reach...on a beautiful day...

Also, instead of fixing the tiller thru its side, drilled some
holes thru the top of the old fitting, and thru an added plate
on the bottom, so as not to mess up the laminations...
actually clamping them permanently together...
(sorry, couldn't resist. you do fine carpentry, suh!)
