Okay,I had to chime in as I've decided on insurance. I got quote from BoatUS of $728 and a quote from Heritage Marine Insurance for $387. Heritage specializes in Old Yacht, namely old wooden yachts it seems. The coverage is better too. Boat US - Vessel and Equipment $19,400 - Liability $300,000

The 35 MK I tiller fits more or less like the boat was designed for tiller steering. It could stand to be about 18 inches longer and have a hinge. Steering effort is quite high because you have to spin the wheel along with turning the rudder. I really don’t know how it would be with the steering

Had to cut two inches off our emergency tiller so it would clear the pedestal spindle. I expect it will need a rope tied to the handle tip to gain enough leverage to control it, so two inches isn't a big change. I try to keep my steering cable and pulleys well lubed so I never need it. Chuck
