So ok ... i know you "guys" are into those flimsy aluminium excuses for an original SS tiller extension ... but I can tell you I recognize a real j30 skipper by the foot action on the tiller.

and the relaxed mode running his 5-mile spinnaker watch this last weekend in a race to Caxambas Pass. This is Brian, skipper of J30 #22 Hornet, normally in VA Chesapeake. He's on his way home for Xmas and wrapping up his boat for the winter; back in Jan. to race again here in Naples.
