Emergency Steering

There is a requirement to have some form of emergency steering. Whilst we will have a Jordan Series drogue I have read many stories of rudderless yachts, particularly in the ARC, having great difficulty in steering and eventually even being abandoned. For these reasons I started looking into emergency steering and got talking to SCANMAR who were extreemly helpful.  As usual with Rainmaker nothing was available as standard but Scanmar altered the design and we have just placed an order.


I will post pictures in the Gallery when I get round to it.
