Old DF 800 MK2

OUPS !
Run away and very quickly !
It is not a boat ,it's a wreck.
It seems that nothing is genuine on this boat ,and has been repaired "with the feet"
Wait a little ,and you will find a nice DF.

Perpex window for centerboard inspection

Extra long tiller extension

I am looking for an extra long tiller extension for my DF 800 fixed wings "Stress Free". It must be long enough to steer from the trampoline or even from the amas.
Are your extensions custom made or which mark sell them ?
Thank you / merci
