The ILCA/Laser Carbon Tiller

Good tiller

It is stiffer in the vertical plane than the carbon tiller that came with the boat. I bought this as part of a program to eliminate play in the steering system. Turns out the rubbish gudgeons that are class standard were the main culprit. I had a Laser back in the late 70’s that had stainless gudgeons and there was never any play in the steering. Planned obsolescence, I suppose. I did need to change the universal to Ronstan to avoid replacing the extension. That was way more work than anticipated. Maybe going forward you could offer the option of a different uni?
