Planning your sailing season starts with clearly defining the equipment that will accompany you offshore.
Choosing a steering system is not just a matter of technical specifications or vessel size; it must be fully aligned with your sailing program and your philosophy of navigation. This is a key topic we address daily with our clients and partners, particularly at major industry events such as NautiPro Bordeaux, where we were present alongside our partner @vdmreya, and at Boot Düsseldorf on January 21st and 22nd.
To support you in your decision-making process, it is essential to distinguish between our two steering technologies:
Pure hydraulic technology (autonomous)
Consisting of a manual pump and a hydraulic cylinder, this system operates without any electrical power source. It is particularly well suited to bluewater sailing in full autonomy, where the pursuit of absolute mechanical reliability is paramount. Its strength lies in its simplicity: it delivers maximum reliability, even far from any technical support, and provides sailors with essential peace of mind when venturing far offshore.
Electro-hydraulic technology (assisted)
This system combines the proven strength of hydraulics with the flexibility of electrical assistance. It meets the expectations of sailors seeking effortless, smooth maneuverability, especially on larger vessels, while integrating seamlessly with modern navigation systems. Here, innovation serves comfort, turning every maneuver into a precise and controlled motion.
Our experts support you throughout your decision process to define your specific needs. Our goal is to guide you toward the most relevant solution—one that meets the constraints of your sailing environment while maximizing your enjoyment at sea.
