RE: [Cal_Boats] Tillers?

I have a wonderful hand carved tiller that came with be venerable Cal 24. One of me dock mates, specifically, none other than Robert E. Lee's great great grand chile, (can you guess what his name is? One guess each only---also a former Cal 25, O'Day 27 owner)-- gave me a bodacious varnished laminated 'S' curved tiller as a replacement for the poor gray and cracking thing. After reading Charlie's venerable commentary on the benefits of the 'S' shape, I'm considering reconsidering bringing it down to the boat and seeing how it would fit, being as that the one I have do hit the seats when it's hard over unless you swivel her up....but...the additional weight on the boat? It looks like it must weigh at least two or three pounds more than me olde one...and TRADITION. What about tradition? I'd have to find someone who can put some fancy hand carved engravings in the new one...how to you do such a thing with a laminated tiller? It's a puzzlement.

Hi, Tom. H & L or Rudder Craft on the web. I use an O’Day 27 stock tiller on my CAL 25 (flat deck) because I like the curvature to clear the cockpit seats. I believe the 2-25 tiller base sits higher than the 25 base, so clearing the cockpit seats is not a problem. Just measure the fork width and height (1.5” by 2” typical), a length you are comfortable with, and decide on a curvature you like. I don’t think there is a “stock” 2-25 part (but I could be wrong). You might have to sand down the tiller width at the fork a bit. Drill holes to fit. Just make sure to recoat sanded parts and holes before installing. Do you use a tiller extender? I use a Forespar telescoping (the shorter one), but they ain’t cheap. Allows me to sit up on the coaming and drive. CheersCharlieCAL 25Annapolis

Gents, Yes, pics please.

Hi, Yes, i have alot of experience but no longer have the tools or shop space. I would love to see pics though. :-) I have made things by soaking/steaming wood and jigging them up. Had a nice table saw with a nice fence, band saw, router, scroll saw, ugghh! A 6' tool chest with enough tools to build/rebuild any engine or anything mechanical. All my electrical test and soldering stuff....oh well. Its just stuff.
