The Tiller

There's two ways to control the Skäreläja; either "inside" the pilothouse  or in the stern. And if you steer the boat from the stern, you need a tiller. When our boat arrived from Sweden we had a provisional solution for the summer (of 2012) and a piece of oak...

And on the Marstrand Island, almost in the middle of the picture you'll find "Vera LLV".   Keijo, captain and owner of Vera (LLV member 226), bought Vera in the Autumn of 2011. Kalle's father Petter did all the research and helped with the buying. Here's one of the first reports Petter sent back to us in Finland: Tyvärr glömde jag att fota toan, men den sitter i aktern.
