Jim - thank you. Good to know it actually worked in an emergency, and for advice on an extension.

Our steering quadrant cracked following a grounding on Great Wicomoco River several years ago and was forced to use emergency tiller to reach home south of York river. Should have used engine but wind was good so sailed. Jib fuller hung up and couldn¡¯t be furled. I was so exhausted ?I had to crawl partway down our pier to get to the house. Definitely devise an extension to bring the tiller as far forward as possible, limited by steering pedestal position.
