Maybe there should be a restriction on glass vs metal beer cans. I vote glass because we only serve Sam Adams on wildcat.

Since beer containers seem to be optional equipment (well, at least my boat didn't come with any), I'd suggest that any material would be acceptable, even Kevlar should that ever be an available option in the future.

What? Did you buy the boat new? Don Kidd (the J/dealer in RI in 1986) had my cooler stocked full when I bought the boat. I assumed it was standard equipment. I know my crew thinks it is!

Following is my "Rules Interpretation" on this issue
Replacement tillers manufactured out of wood or fiberglass are permitted. The base stock of the tiller shall be of the same dimensions as the original tiller The Stainless Steel brackets supplied as factory equipment must be reused. There is no limitation on the length or shape of the tiller.There is no limitation on the type, material or length of the hiking stick
