Lots of sailors, both cruisers and racers, are switching to Dyneema instead of 7x19 wire for their steering cables. In a lot of circumstances we're all for it, for a bunch of reasons. The roadblock to supplying kits has been that the length needs to be exactly right, best done at the boat. But then we figured you're smart and splicing's not that tough, so if we make a vid to show you how to finish the end, we'll be all set. Here you go - https://edsonmarine.com/dyneema-and-chain-kit/

All of Edson's PowerWheels are now certified to ABYC P-22 and ISO 23411 standards. While these certifications sometimes feel like fancy rubber stamp exercises, these new standards reflect the demands that modern boats, going faster and farther offshore than ever before, place on wheels. Whether getting through a nasty cut or running offshore in hard conditions, you want 100% confidence in your wheel. Of course it's also nice to have the best looking and most comfortable wheel - fortunately we've got you covered there, too.

Even the experts miss sometimes... SAIL Magazine has a great pre-launch and pre-season work- and checklist (https://www.sailmagazine.com/diy/a-spring-commissioning-checklist), except that it skips a pre-season steering systems check. Maybe it's included down in item #35 "perform a full systems check"?

In any case, a pre-season steering check is an annual necessity. Every year, steering failures cause several abandonments and rescues, all of which could be avoided with diligent annual checks and maintenance.

Checking your steering systems (including making sure that the emergency tiller works, and that you know how to use it and can deploy it quickly in adverse conditions) takes just a few moments and can save your boat and your crew. We have a handy and very complete list in the "Support" section of our site , almost entirely applicable to any manufacturer's steering.

Make sure your boat is ready for a great season on the water with a simple pre-season check of your steering system!

Two great accessories to install before stepping the mast this season (though easy enough to do when the mast is up if yours never came down). Our leather spreader boots protect your sails from getting poked and torn by your spreader tips, and lend a finished look to things aloft. Our new Anti-Bird Device is amazingly effective at keeping feathered friends from perching on your spreaders and becoming feathered mortal enemies, while looking much better and being kinder to your sails than plastic rakes or other methods.
