I have a 1974 C&C 35 MKII that came with the standard C&C emergency tiller which is almost useless because the rudder shaft exits the cockpit sole aft of the steering pedestal resulting in very little range of motion with the tiller handle. It would be almost impossible to tack with that emergency tiller. Very different arrangement than on the 35 MKi where it looks to me like the tiller can actually be used to drive the boat as a standard tiller steered boat. The range of motion can be increased a bit by removing the wheel on the 35 MKII if you need to use the emergency tiller. Consider this if you design one to have built, not just the fitting to the rudder stock. A straight up emergency tiller with a small wheel fitted to the top and in the same plain as the cockpit sole may work a lot better than a long tiller handle.
