How in the world do you handle the main sheet if you are next to the cabin  
when sailing?

Replacement rudder results:

The stock tiller from Rudder  Craft turned out the be the best fit at the
best  price:
http://www.idasailor.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=56&products_id=750

I  ordered the Style E ($99) tiller L=47", butt W=1.5", h=2.0"
This price is  for an unvarnished tiller.   Varnishing adds $20 & a  tiller
cover costs $39.  Shipping is $19

The West Marine &  Defender tillers were shorter for the required butt
dimensions.  I  prefer a longer tiller because it has a better mechanical
advantage when  hiking out.  If you are sailing single handed it is nice to
hike out  far forward, next to the cabin. I thought the tiller cover was
expensive  since I can find an old sun umbrella cover some where in  the
house.

Defender had the lowest prices if a short tiller is  desired.
