Ronstan Carbon Battlestick, the next generation of sailing weaponry.A range of carbon composite tiller extensions providing the highest level of control for quick, decisive helm response in every situation.Lightweight and strong constructionUnique lightweight gripTapered carbon composite tubeQuick fitting universal joint for accurate helm responsePositive Grip:Unique lightweight grip remains effective when wet. Its slim profile transitions smoothly from the carbon tube to a comfortable ergonomic shape to minimize fatigue.The ribbed finish on the tube provides additional positive grip along its full length, and an end stop is fitted for comfort and safety. Short tiller extensions have smaller grip diameters to match typically smaller hands.Tapered Carbon Composite Tube:The tapered design maximizes rigidity and strength at the helmsman's end for positive feel and resistance to breakage over the gunwale when things get ugly.The dual laminate construction has been precisely engineered for minimum weight, without sacrificing the durability required to meet the rigours of modern sailing. A combination of full length longitudinal and 45 lateral glass and carbon fibers balance optimum stiffness with extra resilience to resist breakage.Urethane Universal Joint:High-grade, UV-resistant urethane provides smooth, uniform articulation and flexibility in all directions for a quick and firm response. Snap-on base cover allows quick fitting and removal. A curved surface adapter is available for mounting on round tiller sections.Note:98”RF3137 does not include grip and end cap, and can be cut to custom length.
