Reply to: Prindle 16 In Havasu

Message body

[quote=Quarath]Sounds like a great boat.  Tiller extensions are also called hiking sticks so you you can steer while your hiked out on the trapeze.  Nice ones can be a bit pricey. They come in aluminum and fiberglass versions. The aluminum are a bit cheaper but not as durable. They are telescoping so you can adjust the length you need. I have 2 unsued at home that the the little pieces that let you lock in the length are shot so I cannot use them. One came with the boat and I broke it my first sail by using it extended out to far. The other I got from Pete Begle on this forum he may have others. Pete is at Big Bear and may have lots of goodies for your prindle give him a call at 909-800-5237. That one the the little rubber piece that locks it at length is shot.

Some people have been know to also use a cheap telescoping painters stick but they are not made for one handed telescoping usually.

If anyone knows where to get to replace these bits I love to resurrect these sticks for someone. I currently am using a Arriba fiberglass on but even it is isn't whole I bought it used and one end had been broken off. It works fine but is a bit shorter than others. Since I don't really hike out it hasn't been a problem so far.<em>Edited by Quarath on Jun 09, 2011 - 10:25 AM.</em> [/quote]
