Steering Overview
Constellation™ System – Wire steering
Constellation™ is the main wire steering system available for
yachts from around 7m/25ft – 18m/60ft. They can be in either
single or tandem systems - ideal for aft cockpit installations - and
are the most reliable systems on the market. The conduit system
overcomes the diffi culties that are experienced when using open
wire in centre cockpit installations.
Cobra™ System – Rack and Pinion
The Cobra™ system is an industry leader in its fi eld and designed
for aft-cockpit yachts. The system uses rack and pinion to ensure
the necessary mechanical advantage required for sensitive steering.
Lewmar also offers a bespoke Cobra™ system for use on non-aft
cockpit yachts.
Mamba™ System – Rotating Torque Tube and Bevelhead
Mamba™ is a suitable system for a diverse range of sail boats, from
bluewater cruisers to round-the-world racers. It offers unique
features - such as variable mechanical advantage steering - while
retaining versatility in the type of installation, such as tandem
systems. The Mamba™ system ensures positive steering feedback
and strength; inherent benefi ts in gearbox and bevel head steering
systems.
Track and Car System
Lewmar's revolutionary track and car steering system is an
innovative blend of product experience. Constellation™ wire
extends from the pedestal and connects to our proven,
marine-grade, ball bearing traveller car and track. Then, using the
components of the Mamba™ solid system, it connects the track
and car to the rudder blades. The entire system is lightweight
with multiple mounting possibilities and responsive feedback when
sailing.
