Releasable Tiller Joint with Rope Core

Optiparts' Releasable Tiller Joint with Rope Core is a practical, reliable rubber tiller extension joint designed for use across a wide range of dinghy classes. The releasable design makes removal and replacement straightforward making it a convenient choice for sailors who want a joint that can be swapped out quickly without fuss. Simply cut the heat shrink tubing and push out the aluminium pin at the end of it's life, and replace!

The standout safety feature is the internal rope core, which acts as a failsafe should the rubber wear down at it's pivot point, preventing complete joint failure and keeping the tiller extension connected when it matters most.

Mounted to your tiller extension with a single aluminium pin secured by heat shrinkable tubing, the joint offers a clean, low-profile installation with a standard mounting hole distance to suit most tiller extension setups.
