What is wrong with the standard Hobie tiller extension? I used one for years (since 1985) and only switched to a Hot Stick a couple of years ago. I bought used sails from someone who threw in the Hot Stick with the deal. Even then I stayed with the standard tiller until it started to wear out from rubbing on the side rails. Fiberglass particles were getting in my hands. I may switch back to it if I can coat it with resin to seal in the fiberglass.
