When I first got my Laser, I found it impossible to sail with a long tiller extension, so I cut mine down to what I considered a "reasonable" and usable length (34 inches). Now after a season of sailing I can see the benefits of a long tiller extension. So I've bought a new tiller extension (48 inches). Only to find out the tiller I had used and found too long before I cut it down...had already been cut down by the previous user. So before the next season starts, I'm looking for tips on how to get the long tiller extension from one side to the other when tacking...without it hitting the boom , or getting tangled in the mainsheet at the block. I've watched a few videos, but can't really see the technique.
