Reply To: HT Mk 111 steering

Hi Steve,

I used to own “Camargue” (HT MKIII) that had been modified by her original owner to remove the wooden tie-bar (he'd fitted a pair of pushpits). Instead of using any form of tie-bar, the owner had fitted a seperate morse steering system (they are designed to bolt together each side of the steering wheel spindle) and then fed an additional morse cable to the 2nd rudder under the rear bunks to another Stainless Steel rudder bracket.

It certainly worked extremily well and in the event of failure you always had a backup!

The new owner of “Camargue” (Robin Jennings – also a member of the association) may be able to provide a a couple of pictures if it helps.
