A tiller extension lets you steer from the rail or the middle of the cockpit, which is essential when hiking out or moving your weight to trim the boat. This collection includes fixed and telescopic extensions from Ronstan and Barton Marine, along with the Davis Tiller-Tamer. It is part of our full sailing hardware department.
Measure from the tiller fitting to where your hand falls while sitting or hiking to choose the right length. Telescopic models adjust for different crew positions and boat sizes, while fixed extensions are lighter and simpler. Look at the universal joint as well, since a smooth, secure joint keeps steering feel direct.
You will find Ronstan Battlestick fixed and telescopic extensions, Barton aluminum soft-grip extensions from 700mm to 900mm, and Barton carbon fiber extensions with blue grips. The Davis Tiller-Tamer holds the tiller in position so you can let go for a moment to handle lines. Lengths are listed for each extension.
Small boat sailors often upgrade vang and control lines at the same time, so see our boom vangs and sailing blocks. Cam cleats for mainsheets and control lines are in winches and cleats. For masthead wind direction, browse wind indicators.
