Thought the idea sounded to good to be true. When looking at some of the photos on the web site I could see some sprint sailors using standard length extensions, do I need to bother spending on a long one !!!
Saw the comments on plastic coated shrouds, phoned the man and got them in the post yesterday, what an excellent idea.
PS Starbritte Chrome and Stainless Polish is good for cleaning up and protecting wire.

Hi Kevin,
You do need a long tiller or you are too far back and going slow. Most of us have got a Dart 18 singlehanded tiller and have cut it down by 4-6inches.
Don't go by the web pictures - several of us broke our tillers in capsizes.
Cheers
