It’s particularly well-suited to boats in the 35–45ft range with deep or wide cockpits, and to racers who hike aggressively and need the helm to follow them to the rail. The twist-lock connection is one of the cleanest quick-release systems on the market — fast to attach, secure under load, and easy to stow. If you’re between sizes, the weight difference (376g vs 295g for the 104016) gives you a practical sense of the length delta before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LNS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51250740822052,"sku":"108-104017","price":246.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/108-104016_b784d8fe-518b-4b0d-a55c-076981e2750f.jpg?v=1786509430","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/forespar-twist-lock-tiller-extension-104017","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
