Date: 5/7/08 9:07p.m. Report: outside forum guidelines In Response To: I could not help but notice the tiller extension on the seat, Mark (nm) (pic) (geneWj,First Born & Teacher's Pet III. Bradenton,Fl.) without it....go figure. I guess I'm just use to my old Catamaran days, I feel right at home with a tiller extension tucked under one arm and mainsheet in the other. I like the push button disconnect for the Tiller ext. On and OFF quick. I think the girls get confused...ya know...using one stick to push another stick....to turn the thingy ma jig behind the boat.....to make the bow go another way.
