Self Steering Wind Vane S - 440
Description.
The South Atlantic S 440 is your best crewmember for sailing around the world! or just coastal cruising.
How Does our Wind vane Self Steering Work?
A South Atlantic S 440 is specially designed for ocean-going yachts from 30 ft. to 40 ft.
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 30 ft. and 40 ft!
Our South Atlantic S 440 weight of only 17 kilograms!
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, the standard Self Steering WindVane on his new Mini Ocean Racer fleet!
