A tiller positioning apparatus for selectively positioning a tiller of a boat includes at least two elongate members, a cylinder member, and multiple engagement members. The elongate members are juxtaposed on a flat surface proximal to a stern end of the boat, and the cylinder member is fixedly attached between the juxtaposed elongate members. The engagement members are positioned on the cylinder member to form multiple gaps between each engagement member, where the tiller is configured to be selectively positioned on the gaps or the engagement members so that the tiller is in a constant position for a predetermined period of time during the sailing process. In an embodiment, the cylinder member is further configured to axially rotate and disengage the tiller from the gaps between the engagement members, therefore allowing free movement of the tiller above the cylinder member.
