J O Woodworks is now a factory authorized distributor for the WaveFront TillerClutch.  This is a great new product we discovered while at the Lake Havasu Pocket Cruiser Convention in 2011.

Sailing alone or short-handed?

Use the WaveFront TillerClutch™ to “lash the helm” with the simple click of a lever. It’s conveniently mounted under the tiller with the lever right in your steering hand.

Click it on or off for instant steering adjustments. There are no knobs to turn, friction to fight, plastic to break, ropes to rig, or bungee cords to adjust.

The TillerClutch gives you a firm hand on the tiller, whenever you need it.

Easy to mount. Easy to use. Compact and durable. The best adjustable tiller-holder on the market. Hands down.
