Our first experience with Edson was when we retrofitted a tiller onto ARCTURUS before our first trans-Atlantic, ten years ago now. Edson supplied a custom machined rudder-post extension and cast bronze tiller head, which is still on ARCTURUS under her new owner today.
Steering on offshore boats is a ‘mission critical’ system and whether it’s tiller hardware, binnacle steering, replacement chain, cables & sheaves or even basic steering maintenance, Edson has you covered.
