I wasn't sure it it was the fact that Seb couldn't reach the bars. Either way, It seems that the handle bars on Ron And Dixie's tandem (red jersey) are very wide compared to ours. Might be another option, wider bars.
Not to mention that another couple we met with a tandem like yours has the drop bars, another option. They seem to be out of the way of the captain's way.
