Since the tiller is in front of the mainsheet, a standard tiller extension will not work -- you would constantly be fighting to get it and you through during each tack and jibe.
So, I will use a long, one-piece tiller extension that goes out both sides of the boat. It will be bent up so it does not hit the water on the leeward side.

Rick,
Your thoughts on revising the tiller cross arm setup to a standard type ie, behind the mainsheet.
Then wouldn't a regular tiller extension be possible and easier to use!!!?
Your comments!!!
