Hey Richard,

I had a tiller extension that was adjustable. It was permanently
mounted atop the tiller just behind the hand "comfort zone" and when
not in use is lined aft and sits in a clip near the gudgeons. Similar
to:

If you were to find a way to clamp the "free end" of it to some point
roughly perpendicular to the tiller, like a gunwale or coaming. or
better yet to a cockpit seat, you would have what you want and a
useful gadget too. The "adjustable" part would allow clamping/holding
at any position you want within reason.

Take care.

"IMHO, some people here give Jeff far more attention than he deserves,
but obviously craves. The most appropriate response, and perhaps the
cruelest, IMO, is to simply killfile and ignore him. An alternative, if
you must, would be to post the same standard reply to his every post,
listing the manifold reasons why he ought to be ignored. Just my $0.02
worth."
