RI-99-03 TILLER SHORTENING (1999-04-28) |
|
Q1: | On a tiller boat it is very difficult for the helmsman to pass between the tiller and the traveler. May I shorten the tiller and move the mainsheet cleating base to the front side of the traveler? |
A1: | Yes, the tiller length can be trimmed, and the mainsheet swivel cam/base may be moved forward of the traveler on both tiller and wheel boats. This will improve safety on tiller boats. |
