Twin Tiller Kit

The Wētā is one of the few classes where you can sail single handed with main, jib and gennaker. The Wētā is unique in the way that it can be sailed in this format by any sailor with basic skills.

The reasons that the Wētā is easier to handle are:

  • Boomless rig

  • Simple sail controls

  • Self tacking jib

We now have a simple twin tiller kit to make your sailing experience even easier especially when combined with the Self Tacking Jib Kit.

With twin tillers you no longer have to worry about releasing the tiller extension and throwing it over onto the other tramp as you tack and gybe. When tacking you just; push the tiller to go through the tack, release it and swap sides keeping focused on your heading. The rudder will naturally go back to its fore/aft central position ready to start on the new tack. You just need to reach back knowing that the other  tiller extension will be in position for adjustment on the new tack

This system allows you more time to be observant of your heading and other boats around you.

You will find with the combination of the self tacker and twin tillers the less agile sailors will get a new lease of life, gain confidence and will become timeless champions.
