Thanks all, yes I am guilty of a typo, and meant to say my rope skills are NOT up to making one! Thanks for all comments, I am indeed looking for one which hangs down inside the back cabin door, and is basically a loop to hold the tiller in a central position. Only a small detail but we have found it very useful. But am interested that there is some video on you tube that shows you how to splice, and will investigate.

Does anyone know where we can get a new tiller string to replace our very frayed one? I'd be grateful for any information, as my rope skills are up to making one!

We came down this lock earlier this week, and the bottom gates wouldn't close properly, so it was almost impossible to fill the lock. We reported it on returning to our marina (Aqueduct) who have told us that now C&RT staff are helping to operate the lock and are carrying our emergency repairs. There may still be delays.
