About Us
Family Business.
We are a new small family business, which was created in Skipton after a single tiller pin was made as a one off for a special friend. After an overwhelming response from those lovely friends/adopted family in Skipton. We are now operating . Our Handcrafted tiller pins are made to suit you, different designs are available. Reliable, friendly service. Please send us a message if you have any enquiries. We are willing to help with any further questions. Thank you
Our Tiller Pin Range.
View Range Of Our Tiller Pins In The Menu Shop Link.
Our unique original designs are made incorporating 3 different materials. The pin is made from 8MM Stainless Steel. ( Can be diameter to your needs)
The body is made from an aluminum base with an interference fit pressed brass centre and an aluminum top. Then hand machined into the required body style. The next process is to fettle the tiller pin body and then it is buffed to a high shine finish. Our designs can be mixed and matched to your liking ie (you may like the top part of the body on one and the bottom part of the body on another) Along with our unique 3 material designs we of course can make the tiller pin bodies from the common single materials. We would always use 316 Stainless for the pin itself.
Enamel Badges.
As you can see from the pictures on our website and facebook page. In several designs we like to use Enamel Badges (Optional). We have had many enquiries reguarding the customers own personal enamel badges. This isn't a problem however please try to stay under the dimentions of 30MM. We realise there are many different shapes to the enamel badges. Please do take into account all our tiller pins are Hand made and unusual shaped logo's/badges will be fitted as suggested via your approval.
Name And Phrase Plates.
Due to popular request we are now able to offer, your boat name or a phrase etc. This will be placed on 27mm metal backing with an enamel/resin material. Which makes it weather proof and UV proof. We have managed to work and find a company that will waver minimum order quantities. This means that the backing design will be standard as on pictures however there are 6 of the most popular fonts and many many colour variations of font and background.
IMPORTANT
Due to name plate size at the moment this will only be an available choice on Tiller Pin Zoe and Tiller Pin Wayne.
When checking out could you please add the name of your boat or phrase you would like and the number of lines you would like this on in the special instructions box.

Site Content
Additional Information
This is a long form text area designed for your content that you can fill up with as many words as your heart desires. You can write articles, long mission statements, company policies, executive profiles, company awards/distinctions, office locations, shareholder reports, whitepapers, media mentions and other pieces of content that don’t fit into a shorter, more succinct space.
Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.
Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.
Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.
Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.
