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.

Features

Rope Core Failsafe - Internal rope core runs through the joint, preventing complete failure if the rubber tears.

Releasable Design - Remove your tiller extension for storage, transportation or for replacement by popping the extension from the mount on your rudder.

Aluminium Pin Mounting - Secured with a single lightweight aluminium pin held in place by heat shrinkable tubing for a clean, minimal installation.

Suits 16mm Tiller Extensions - Designed for standard 16mm tiller extensions, compatible with a wide range of dinghy classes and setups.

Standard 32mm Hole Centre Distance - Consistent mounting hole spacing ensures compatibility with most tiller and extension configurations.
