THE SERVO PENDULUM WINDVANE CONCEPT
Our South Atlantic S 301 works according to the servo pendulum rudder system. It uses the Wind and the force of the water flowing past the ship in motion.
Even on larger ships, the enormous weight and leverage of heavy self-steering systems from other manufacturers, pose enormous challenges for safe and permanent installation on regularly thin-walled stern structures. This applies twice to small ocean-going yachts between 18 ft. And 30 ft.! Our South Atlantic S 301 is the only system on the market specially designed for small ocean-going yachts.
With a record weight of only 13 kilograms, the Sout Atlantic S 301 also fits the light stern structure of a modern, fast ocean-going yacht!
Thanks to modern and high-strength materials, the South Atlantic is at the same time more stable than most heavy systems from other manufacturers!
This is one of the reasons why Don McIntyre made the South Atlantic S 301 the standard Self Steering WindVane on his new Mini Ocean Racer fleet!
