Malcheski Composites/Which Tiller Extension Length?

Malcheski Composites is making carbon (Kevlar, etc.) adjustable tiller extensions, which I assume are a modern day replacement for the Arriba Hotstick.

Looks like nice work!

My question is, "Which length is best for the Hobie 16?" I know the stock Hobie fiberglass unit is 84".

Malcheski makes different lengths. For the Hobie 16, would the 52"-100" version or the 62"-115" be better?

In low wind, sitting toward the front of the tramp, I'm thinking that longer is better. But when sitting toward the rear of the tramp, then maybe 52"/shorter is more comfortable?

Sorry I don't have much sailing time on an H16, just picked up a 2007 and need to get it set up.

Thanks for your thoughts,

Jeff

BTW I emailed the Company and asked some questions. Martin responded quickly. Seems like a good company and a good guy!

I sometimes get caught in offshore ocean lulls and find myself enjoying a slow sail from the front hulls while leaning on the front tramp beam. I have found that the 100" reaches fine for leisure time like this.
