At 108\", this is the long-reach option, designed for larger cockpits and performance sailing where distance from the tiller is essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the system is a stainless steel universal joint that allows smooth, unrestricted movement in any direction without binding. The anodized aluminum tube (3\/4\" tapering to 5\/8\") keeps weight low while maintaining rigidity under load. A rubber compound ball grip at the end provides a secure, comfortable hold even with wet hands. The powder-coated finish resists corrosion in saltwater environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConnection to the tiller is handled by Forespar's twist-lock quick-release system: depress the plunger, insert the detent pin into the tubular tiller fitting, and you're locked in.
