TILLER-HAND® tiller control system

TILLER-HAND is a tiller control system that's based on a time tested principle: A control line secured at the port and starboard quarters is fed through a friction brake at the tiller. The brake is adjustable so that the tiller can be locked in any position, or can be allowed a selected degree of movement , or can be fully free .

The TILLER-HAND is a boon to the single handed and short handed sailor:

TILLER-HAND FEATURES

• When sailing, tension applied by the TILLER-HAND keeps the helm under control, preventing the tiller from moving until you apply effort. This frees you to move around the boat, tending to sail trim and other activities. You need only nudge the tiller from time to time, making minor corrections, no longer a prisoner to the helm.

• When motoring, the propeller wash tends to push the rudder fully over if the tiller is let go, making it impossible to leave the helm to stow sails or prepare mooring lines. TILLER-HAND frees you from the helm by locking the rudder on course.

• TILLER-HAND doesn't intrude on cockpit space because the control lines leave the tiller at 45 degrees, back towards the quarters. This also avoids any possible interference with an auto-pilot.

• TILLER-HAND can be fully released with a few turns of the control knob, putting you back in command of the helm in an instant.

TILLER-HAND is constructed from strong, wear-resistant, reinforced plastic and stainless steel for durability and longevity in a marine environment. TILLER-HAND is compact and unobtrusive, can be mounted on the top or bottom of the tiller and is easy to install.

TILLER-HAND comes with 2 meters of 6mm braided control line and two fixing screws.

Equivalent devices range in price from £29 to over £60.
