Tiller-Lock™
from Sailcare

All sailors occasionally need to leave the helm to perform other tasks onboard. The problem is that often there is no one else available who can take over the steering. Tiller-Lock is an inexpensive, patented and ingenious solution to this problem.

 

Tiller-Lock is a rudder locking device with a unique, infinitely variable
friction brake suitable for tiller-controlled boats!

Tiller Lock is the most clever and easy to handle rudder locking device on the market. Without encroaching on cockpit space, it's always ready for action. The locking of the tiller is effected by a short pull upwards. Owing to this the control line is firmly locked around the friction brake and the rudder is fixed!

To regain control of the steering, simply lower the tiller! The control line will then slacken allowing you to steer as usual without any friction from Tiller-Lock.

It is also possible - and very useful in certain conditions - to increase the steering tension by raising the tiller until the desired friction-resistance is pbtained.

Tiller-Lock is very easy to install and is delivered as a complete kit in an attractive box including

  • 1 special friction brake
  • 1 piece of special rope
  • 1 clamcleat (aluminum)
  • 2 fairleads (white plastic)
  • 1 fairlead (black plastic)
  • 2 wood screws (brass, 45 mm)
  • 2 wood screws (brass, 30 mm)
  • 6 screws (acid-proof steel)
  • detailed and easily understood installation instructions
