@visionyachts2882 Vision 444 feature of the day: Mechanical steering system

The original steering system on the Vision 444 was hydraulic, which did not provide the level of feedback James Turner sought to deliver. The steering system is now mechanical; created 100% in-house with a chain and high-tech rope system. At the back of the steering wheel is a sprocket and chain, which interfaces to Dyneema and then another high-tech rope material, goes through some sheaves to point the lines back to the transom area, then through an elaborate welded piece of kit that routes the forces to the rudder stocks. The Auto-Helm ram is now located just under the aft access hatch at the top of the starboard sugar scoop, up out of the way from the elements. Want more?
