Steering Systems

Various combinations of boat speed, rudder blade surface area and balance sections apply a variety of forces on steering systems.
Furthermore the dynamic influences of wind and currents cause steering systems to be continuously used under sometimes harsh
conditions.
A skipper is dependent on the steering system and therefore it must be reliable under all circumstances. The design of the steering
system determines how rapidly the vessel responds to helm movements. Fast light boats react quickly to small rudder movements,
while a slow, heavy displacement boats will usually be set up to require more wheel movement for a given change of course.
A thoughtful calculation of a steering system is therefore essential.
Make your choice from a wide range of steering wheels and steering systems.
