The Concept behind Rooster Sailing Carbon Tiller Extensions

The Laser tiller extension has always been the one thing the sailor is holding all the time – well hopefully! It is also the one thing that sailors tend to take out their aggression on when things don’t go according to plan. So Rooster Sailing has been working to manufacture one to rely on in a crises.
Principally we have introduced a larger diameter section than normal to give extra strength and added lots of twill around the outside of the stick for bash resistance. Glass fibre has also been added to increase shatter resistance. Now tested to almost destruction (not managed to break it yet after lots of trying!) 49er sailors and other class sailors looking for a stick they can rely on are contacting Rooster Sailing.
It’s no coincidence that Ben Ainslie chose a Rooster Carbon Extension to rely on to win GOLD!
