Troy has been sharpening our group by teaching us special topics during our monthly meetings.
Last month he showed us how to inspect and replace the impeller on our small outboard that we use for the safety boat.
It actually turned out to be a lot more complex than I thought it would be, but you really can't beat these visual aides when you are standing there seeing it done firsthand.
This month he taught us about Laser rudder, tiller, and tiller extensions. It was interesting to find out some of the rules guiding rudder/tiller design for racing and how people have modified them to gain a tactical edge.
It was neat to see several different styles of tiller extensions. I personally like the carbon fiber tiller, I think every boat needs more carbon fiber and titianium ;)
Thanks Troy! You are a great teacher, commodore, and friend to us all.
