If you're really desperate (and have a spare aluminium ski pole) you can take the basket off, drill a hole through the bottom and insert your quick release or pin through, making a very nice tiller. This was done out of necissity after I left my tiller at home one day. I use a tripod made of old ski poles to help raise the main so a pole was the only thing I had and it worked damn well, the handle on the pole was great as long as I wasn't trap'n out.

My twenty-five year old fiberglass(wrapped in electrical tape) tiller works just fine though, even on trap. I attached a yellow foam practice golf ball from Wal-mart to the end with gorilla glue for extra leverage and ergonomics. It's easier to hold with lots of weather helm.
