Topic: New Tiller

Does anyone know a good place to get a new tiller made in Southern Ontario for a Contessa 26?  Suzeh

Re: New Tiller

did yours break?


rather than go through the expense of making another teak tiller, i would consider laminating strips of ash, or alternating ash and jatoba for a strong and mighty interesting looking tiller

Re: New Tiller

I purchased a new tiller online from ida sailor.  It is a thing of beauty....laminated 1/4 inch ash and mahogany strips.  The old one was worn with cracks....didn't look too reliable.  I'll keep it as a spare though.
