Tiller tamer

There was a discussion of tiller-holding devices recently and I joined the group that praised the Davis Tiller Tamer friction device. Last night the wind dropped to almost nothing as I was sailing back toward the mooring so I took the time to snap a couple photos. I'll attach one or two if the computer and Yahoo cooperate. On my tiller, the original owner had added "cheeks" to give the Tiller Tamer a surface to stabilize it. They were some light wood that needed refinishing and regluing so I replace his pieces with mahogany. The device is mounted UNDER the tiller--out of sight, mostly, and where the knob will not catch lines. Chris Campbell
