Working tiller extension
planned

The tiller extension is stuck against the tiller. Consequently, even though I'd rather steer with the tiller extension than the joystick, I am forced to use the joystick, because if I lean toward the centreline to reach the tiller, the boat heels over because I can't counter the heel angle. This is immersion breaking.
If the tiller extension worked, I could hike to windward and still steer by moving the tiller extension. This will be more natural than using a tiny joystick.

It's tricky on Quest. Later may try to make it better for 360 tracking systems

Maybe it would be easier to just make an "unnaturally long" arm instead of the complex extension, which - without looking and without force feedback - is almost impossible to control anyway.

The tiller extension seems to work, but I have difficulty reversing direction.. When pulling forward (extension straight), in the real world I could put some torque on the extension to start it going the other way. Here, I wish I could just push on the tiller itself to reverse the knee bend in the middle..?
