Wichard Articulated Telescopic Tiller Extender | Precision Steering & Control
Experience unparalleled control and comfort at the helm with the Wichard Articulated Telescopic Tiller Extender. Designed for the discerning sailor who demands precision, reliability, and performance, this essential piece of deck equipment transforms your sailing experience. Whether you are racing in a regatta or enjoying a long-distance cruise, the Wichard extender allows the helmsman to find the perfect position for optimal visibility, boat trim, and comfort, ensuring you remain in complete command in any sea condition.
Move freely around the cockpit and sit out on the rail to balance the boat without ever sacrificing steering accuracy. This ability to precisely adjust your position and maintain fingertip control over the tiller is the key to unlocking your boat´s full performance potential. The intuitive design ensures that every subtle movement is transferred directly to the rudder, providing immediate feedback and allowing for minute, accurate course corrections.
Key Benefits:
*Unmatched Steering Precision: The highly responsive articulated joint provides fluid, multi-axis movement, eliminating play and ensuring that your steering inputs are instantly and accurately transmitted to the rudder for superior handling.
*Optimized Sailing Performance: By allowing the helmsman to move to the windward side, you can effectively use your body weight to improve boat trim and balance, increasing speed and pointing ability, which is a critical advantage in competitive sailing.
*Enhanced Comfort and Endurance: The ergonomic handle and telescopic adjustability reduce physical strain on the arms, back, and shoulders. Steer comfortably for hours on end, maintaining focus and reducing fatigue during long passages or intense races.
*Superior Visibility: Move away from the centerline to gain an unobstructed view of the sails, tell-tales, and the water ahead. This improved line of sight allows for better tactical decisions and anticipation of wind shifts.
*Intuitive and Secure Operation: The telescopic mechanism is simple to operate, allowing for quick and easy length adjustments on the fly. A secure locking system ensures the extender stays firmly at your desired length, providing confidence and reliability when you need it most.
