Hi All,
I have the new style rudders/tiller on my Wave, and have found that tiller-behind-the-sheet a little short. Occasionally I even use my feet to hold it.

What I would like to do is add a tiller extension, but the way the tiller bar must be raised up so high when raising rudders has me concerned about the hinge angle when raised. I don't want to break or stress anything.

I am also unsure of components to buy. I thought about just purchasing the Getaway parts, yoke, hinge, stick, etc, but that really adds up. Mounting is another question. Since the tiller is fairly high to begin with, should the yoke be mounted upside down, or on top but at a forward angle?

I don't think a extendable model like a hotstick is necessary, as I will not be trapping out. I think a cut-down stick will work.

Anybody have any thoughts?
