| Post subject: | Hajime tiller system - What do you think? |
Just wanted to get your opinion about this tiller system from Hajime K. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmokGcagtJk I like it because - I think it's better than using hiking stick. - It can be a backup rudder control if the internal rudder lines broke while sailing. My concerns are: - In and out the kayak will be quite difficult not unless you deploy once you're fully seated and put it aside before exiting the kayak. - spend about 100 dollars for something that I have not seen implemented by others. - might be an issue for outboard user like me or maybe not... |

Probably the best mod I've done to my boat, I have a solo A.I. and use a 52 Qt. Igloo cooler as a seat back. With Hajimes steering set up, I can sit atop the cooler and steer the boat, even do a bit of stand-up sailing when the conditions are right, VERY good idea, but you're right, it was over a hundred dollars for the parts, quite painful at first. I hardly ever touch the tiller handle now, even when seated. |

Fascinating video! Very clever and ingenious. Does anyone have a parts list. Specifically what gauge line and what kind of blocks? |

Ditto... I also like the fact that it's something that can be left on when rigged down and doesn't involve any 'hard' mods to the boat etc. I just used what I had in the shed in terms of blocks etc. doesn't really matter. |

I will be putting this on my boat. Laying on the tramps and sailing is great, but I was steering with my foot or toes on the rudder control. Here's another video with a setup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXNIUOL0LzU |
