Voted "Best on Test" by Practical Boat Owner - August 2015 Sailing alone or short-handed? Use the patented TillerClutch to "lash the helm" with the simple click of a lever. It's conveniently mounted under the tiller with the lever right in your steering hand. Click it on or off for instant steering adjustments. The TillerClutch is a specialised rope clutch, not a simple friction brake. There are no knobs to turn, friction to fight, plastic to break, ropes to tie, or bungee cords to adjust. The TillerClutch gives you a firm hand on the tiller, whenever you need it. Features: Special grooved base fits round or square tiller handles Simple mounting - requires only two screws centred along tiller shaft Compact, solid metal construction withstands the abuse of hard sailing Major components made of solid aluminium alloy, hard-coat anodised and sealed Internal parts made of passivated stainless steel Thoroughly rounded edges for comfort and safety Does not use or interfere with the mounting points of a tiller pilot and remains in place when a tiller pilot is used Unique toggling rope clutch system balanced to maximise holding power with minimal user effort. No need for adjustment screw-knob Rope clutch mechanism calibrated to be overpowered in emergencies and to relieve excessive rudder stress in heavy conditions Size: Width 28mm, Depth 25mm, Body Length 79mm, Lever Length 57mm Suitable for trailer sailors, day sailors and small cruisers up to approx 27ft / 8.25m There is also a TillerClutchX model with more holding power for heavier keel boats with stout steering hardware, that exceed tiller loads of up to 35lb (16kg) or more (see Code: 861000).
