Is there anything known about this and how it came to be in this world? It used to be listed on the boat list of the ol, old website.

The crew and I are considering going halves (it's up for sale) for the days when one of us is away. It needs a T-foil though  ;D

The rig is a pile of poo though. Red eyes perhaps?

Just what I thought. Two sticks of bamboo stuck into a short bit of hose pipe and bolted onto the tiller.

either that or 2 universal joints and 2 carbon tiller extensions... depends how flush you are feeling and how professional you want to look!  ;)

definately  carp catch nets (or so the guy in the shop told me when i took the two parts left from the one i got with the boat)and if you can pick up the ones with the metal screw in tips thats even better as with a bit of sanding the UJs can be screwed into the metal saving you having to carbon up the ends of the extensions for added strength
