[Public-list] Articulated tiller

[Peter Staehling]

Did you see the pictures at:

They show it fairly well.

I am curious about this arrangement too.  I am
impressed with it at least in concept.  Are there any
drawbacks you have found?

Is the hinge stiff enough to stay in place in "normal"
operation?  It would seem it would either need to be
able to be locked in place or be stiff enough to not
flop up and down in normal operation, including
raising the whole tiller to a high angle to clear folk
knees when guests are on board, especially when
docking.  Could you comment on how your setup handles
in this regard.
