Check out scouts new tiller! 🎉
Redesign of the steering system…
We have finally got round to a job we’ve been meaning to do for awhile.
The steering system originally consisted of a quadrant which was attached to the rudder by wires which were all led above deck and seemed way overcomplicated to us as well as a trap for loose ropes or fingers! It also fell off as soon you tried to lift the Rudder which was a bit inconvenient to say the least!
We removed the old tiller and quadrant and built a new longer tiller which now attached directly to the rudder head. This allows for full steering even with the rudder half up. and should make the steering feel much more direct.
