Jefa Steering has developed a new innovative traveller system for modern twin wheel, twin rudder sailing yachts. Traditionally cable systems required a wire quadrant and twin rudder boats even required twin quadrants. These (in average 50 cm diameter) quadrants take up a lot of space and due to the slanted rudders required a difficult wire routing to reach them. Experiments have been conducted to use standard deck travellers to transfer the cable movement into rudder movement, but as one can’t get them without play, they distort the rudder feel every time the wheel is rotated. The new Jefa traveller is without this backlash and specially made to attach cables and draglinks. The Jefa traveller is a revolutionary steering solution for twin wheel, twin rudder boats and a huge space saver.
The Jefa steering traveller consists of a wagon with 4 rotating special shaped wheels which fit on a tube with tracks. The tracks prevent the traveller from rotating around the tube so it can only move sideways. The traveller wagon has two ø16mm pins fitted to connect draglinks and holes with good accessibility to attach wire terminals from the pedestals. The traveller can be used for most sizes of yachts and the gearing ratio can be changed with the length of the tiller arm on the rudderstock.
