Making a tiller for scamp sailboat. the rudder case is all done except for finishing so i can take measurements for the tiller. last time i was at the lumber yard i saw a beautiful piece of black walnut.. Your oyster is a big boat, and with a centre cockpit it’s often the case that the tiller sweeps low over the aft deck making it pretty difficult to manage. but at least it could be used! best wishes. My tiller's become delaminated, and is generally looking rather tired, so i'd like to make a new one. the rudder stock at cockpit floor level, and in order to have sufficient clearance, the tiller needs to rise to about 18 inches within about 18 inches horizontaly (i.e. cockpit benches are 18 inches deep, and the cockpit is 3 foot wide) ..
This feature is not available right now. please try again later.. A tiller or till is a lever used to steer a vehicle. the mechanism is primarily used in watercraft, where it is attached to a rudder post or stock to provide leverage in the form of torque for the helmsman to turn the rudder.a tiller may also be used vehicles outside of water and were seen in early automobiles.. Dear jt, thank you so much! the tiller arrived yesterday and it is gorgeous! it will stand out on this old sailboat and i'm sure it will make her sail even better. macky gaines-vergennes, vt. the tiller you made is beautiful and a perfect fit. dean brock-port townsend, wa . the tiller arrived last night. it is a work of art. thanks very much..
