Optimist Tillers & Extensions: Sticks and Joints by Optiparts

The tiller extension (stick) and its joint are the direct link between helmsman and tiller: in this section you find Optimist tillers and extensions of Optiparts quality, from 20 mm X-Gripped sticks in various colours to Deluxe models in anodised aluminium.

The heart of the system is the joint: you find the quick-release rubber joint with a rope core for Ø 20 mm sticks, offering flexibility and rapid release without losing tiller feel. A secure grip and a soft joint make the difference in tacks and planing.

A stick of the right length and a non-slip grip improve tiller control in all conditions, from sailing school to one-design racing. The components are compatible with standard Optimist tillers.
