Forum Quotes - Sprint Tiller Extension

The standard tiller extension supplied with the Dart 15 is not considered to be really long enough for Sprinting, so most sailors use a longer tiller.

On 18th June 2001 Keith Ball asked:

Do the Class Rules specify a length for the tiller extension in Sprint mode? If not can anyone suggest a suitable length?

Bob Carter replied:

Most of us have bought the Dart 18 single handed tiller extension and shortened it by 4-6inches. It ends up just under 8 ft. Say 7ft 10inches from memory.
