Comments about Forespar Giant Stick Tiller Extensions:
Used this stick on a J/22 for about 2 years. This is very lightweight and has a good feel. I wrapped it with a tennis racket overgrip to give it a soft touch. Diameter size is really good. Problem is it is thin wall carbon which is fragile. If you chip it by dropping it you'll have to wrap rigging tape around it to keep down the splintering, then it is weaker at that point and the stick will fail like a paper towel core. I loved the stick until it failed one day. Wish it was more durable.
