Unregistered | I don't think so, most of the 'truebloods' I know had it. I only saw a few boats at PIB that didn't and everyone I have raced against at HCA events had it done. I like it alot better, but my son LOVES it since he can move all the way up on front now. | | | Re: Wave NAs.

Posts: 3,355 Key Largo, FL and Put-in-Bay, ... | Instead of a tiller extension that gets in the way with the old style rudders, I simply use small line attached to each rudder bar allowing the loop to reach to the front beam. I can get up on the beam downwind and have great steering control. The line is a few cents, instead of a hundred plus dollars, and weighs nothing, and it works very well. Won the North Coast with that set up. Rick | | | Re: Wave NAs.

Call me old fashion but I like to hold a tiller. If I rigged a wheel like this on my Wave I'd be just like Jimmy on his AC72! | | | Re: Wave NAs.
