Anyone knows what should be the dimension of a tiller + tiller extension to be comfortable when sailing with a passenger. I have a Ronstan carbon tiller that is much too long (tiller 39" and extension 46") What is the dimension of a standard genuine wood tiller + the extension ?

I took the idea in Davison`s book, however I found that the line slips and the strap adjustment gets loose rapidly. I'm wondering if this could be causes by the type of line I'm using that is rather slippery. I can't sail with that setup, my next step would be to try with a different kind of...

Anyone knows what Krylon product to use ? I found they have a multi-purpose indoor-outdoor white but it comes in 4 finish: satin, gloss, flat and semi-gloss and I'm not sure which one is the right choice. They also have other types (not multi-purpose) :confused...

Anyone has a good way to set up the mast retaining line (with a picture). I've tried different things, I had a bad experience with the mast rotating 180 deg, I bent the deck plate. I think the bungee may be a good solution.

I know it's a tricky question but I'm looking for something to clean and remove minor scratches on my hull such as a rubbing compound. McGuiar has a marine line, here is a description of their oxidation remover: Removes moderate oxidation, scratches, stains and tough water spots on all...

Anyone has found a good solution ? what kind of tape and where to find it for example ? Thanks
