Laser 4.7 National Champion and Sailing Chandlery sponsored sailor Jack Graham-Troll reviews the Laser Carbon Tiller Extension from SpeedSix.
If your looking for a very strong but lightweight and comfortable carbon tiller extension, then the SpeedStix tiller extension from Sailing Chandlery is the one for you.
The SpeedStix Laser carbon tiller extension is very strong, lightweight and comfortable to sail with and its low bend characteristics give a very positive and responsive feel. The grip is manufactured into the carbon weave so it doesn’t wear off, unlike other carbon tiller extensions which use grip tape that wears away over time. The grip contours allow your hand to slide consistently down the tiller and provide a firm holding position when required.
With many different sailing styles and techniques, it’s great that the SpeedStix carbon tiller extension comes in a wide variety of lengths to suit you as an individual sailor. As a Laser sailor, it is especially important for me to use an extension longer than standard. It allows me to get into a comfortable hiking position and optimise rudder control whilst conserving energy and reducing muscle fatigue.
The SpeedStix carbon tiller extension is a fantastic upgrade and made a positive contribution towards my 2019 Laser 4.7 National Championship success.

Read MoreAmazing service, the staff got our order in with no issue and quick delivery. The replica mast are a perfect alternative.
Excellent service. Arrived very quickly. Highly recommend, have used Sailing Chandlery several times - always quick and efficient.
I have the 270 boots 2020, But these 170 boots are great, much easier to get on and off and very grippy and comfortable
Great range of products, very efficient service, item arrived well packed and on time
Really strong, does what it needs to!
Great product, does the job for a good price
Perfect product at good price and fast delivery. Thank you.
Best spring/summer hiking wetsuit.
As per usual the Sailing Chandlery team got these to me in a flash! Amazing service!!!
I have previously used the Superwarm version of this hiker and it was brilliant!
I purchased these as I get far too hot in my winter hikers during the sweaty summer months!
Only used once so far, but were warm enough in 15 degrees C and worked exactly as expected!
Good size handle, comfortable grip. I find I have to go down a size in needle than that advised for the rope I’m splicing.
Fantastic service and reasonable prices
Excellent service product delivered very quickly and exactly the item I required.
These were fine. But what was an issue was the number of emails I received after.
This is my most used item in my sailing bag. Keeps me warm on colder days underneath layers and I also wear it on top in the summer. The fleece lining inside is very comfortable.
These are brilliant socks. I tuck them inside my Superwarm wetsuit and because the seems are sealed it stops any water getting to my feet.
Small and springy - exactly what I needed !
But usual great service from Sailing Chandlery !!
