About Us

What we do:

We produce a range of carbon fibre tillers, tiller extensions and spinnaker poles for racing / sailing dinghies in a fantastic range of colours. We also offer a range of carefully designed accessories.

Our carbon fibre items are made to order so can have a lead-time of approximately 4-5 weeks, but they are well worth the wait!

However, we do try and have some stock of our most popular products already made up so please ask.

Our innovative Team is constantly designing new products, so if you need something you don't see, please contact us.

We look forward to welcoming you as a Customer!

How and why we started:

Our MD has long had a passion for dinghy sailing (since 1973 in fact...) and has been sailing and racing dinghies most years since then, plus a few years campaigning a Projection 762 sportsboat and even a couple of Fastnets on a Sigma 36.

As he and his wife will admit, they are colourful characters.... so, when searching for tiller extensions and spinnaker poles for their dinghies in strong, lightweight, carbon fibre, pretty much all they could find was black....or black!

Having repaired and made things for various dinghies over the years, and with over 30 years involvement in retail combined with never being one to let a challenge go, the search was on, which, in early 2022, turned into a case of 'if in doubt, do it yourself'.

As a result, CF by L and L was created, producing tiller extensions and spinnakers poles to the dinghy racers out there...or those who wish to potter or cruise in their dinghy but with added colour!

We are always looking to expand and improve our range so if you do not see exactly what you require, please get in touch as we may already have something in the pipeline or be able to supply it.

We are passionate about producing quality products, at value for money prices, with great Customer Service!

We hope you like our products, and we wish you Happy (and colourful!) Sailing!
