The right tiller extension keeps you in control when you are hiked out and the boat is powered up, letting you steer accurately from anywhere in the cockpit or off the side deck. Whether you helm a singlehander where you are constantly moving or a doublehander where reach matters most, the extension is the link between your hand and the rudder. We stock tiller extensions from leading dinghy brands including Allen, Ronstan, Rooster and Sea Sure, in fixed and telescopic designs to suit your boat and sailing style.
Tiller extensions suit every dinghy and small keelboat sailor, from club racers learning to hike to competitive helms who need precise feel through every manoeuvre. A telescopic extension adjusts length on the water, handy if you move around the boat or sail shorthanded, while a fixed extension is lighter and simpler if you know the reach you want.
When choosing a tiller extension, match the length to your boat and how far you sit out: too short and you cannot steer while hiking, too long and it fouls in the cockpit. Check the joint type, as universal joints vary in flexibility and durability, and look at the grip material and diameter for comfort over long races. Make sure the fitting suits your existing tiller.
