Whoops - where can I get tiller for a Dockrell 27

[sb1dave]

Following a lively outing off North Wales on Sunday I find myself looking for a tiller for a Dockrell 27. Tried searching the www in vain. Does anybody know where I can get one? Many thanks

Usually you get tillers made by a shipwright or carpenter, or diy if you're competant. I carry a spare, since a broken tiller would be such a PIA.

Not familiar with the design of your tiller. Is it the same as that on the Hurley 27 where it fits into the transom hung rudder?

Thanks for the info
Yes it's basically a later build of the Hurley 27

If you go to site http://www.dockrell.co.uk, you will find a link to the Hurley Owners site. Maybe someone may know how to get a replacement.
I had to build my own for my D22 because I could not trace the moulds.

If you have any photos or info that you would like included on the site please email dockrellyachts@yahoo.co.uk.

Thanks

When we had a Hurley 27 back in 1990's, it had been fitted with a new tiller. This had been laminated and profiled by a local boatbuilder, and fitted with original Hurley tiller fittings.

I am afraid you will probably have to follow suit.

There was a Hurley association back in the 90's, but it was the Hurley 22 association, but covered all models. Could never get a responce from them when I tried to join, better look now.
