Rob, my wife complained every time we tacked. The solution I found is not a shorter tiller, instead one that sits up higher to clear knees. She is happy with this. I was able to go to my local West Marine store and select from several. It sits up about 6" higher that the standard tiller.

LOL, not usually an issue brought by a male but in this case it gets in the way of the crew when tacking. has anyone experimented with a shorter tiller or one that folds in half or something? our dodger prevents standing erect near the companion way so one must step back a bit and risk a tillerous encounter. thoughts? thanks-rob
