Steering Systems

Constellation™ – Wire Steering

Wire steering systems are suitable for yachts from 7m /25' to Maxi’s. This diversity has enabled us to develop the Constellation system with feedback from various types of boat builders. Wire systems are ideal for aft cockpit installations, either single or tandem. Wire-in conduit systems are also available for centre cockpit installations. The conduit system overcomes the difficulties that are experienced when using open wire in centre cockpit installations.

Cobra™ – Rack & Pinion

Cobra  uses rack and pinion in the head of the pedestal to provide the necessary mechanical advantage required for sensitive steering. Cobra  has been designed for use in aft cockpit sailboats and is a world leader in its field. Lewmar also offers customised Cobra systems for use in non aft cockpit applications

Mamba™ – Rotating Torque Tube & Bevelhead 

The ultimate steering system providing feedback and strength; both benefits are inherent to gearbox and bevelhead steering systems. Mamba is a suitable steering system for a diverse range of sailboats from blue water cruisers to America’s Cup contenders. It offers unique features such as variable mechanical advantage steering whilst retaining versatility in the type of installation it can be used in i.e. Tandem systems.
