Emergency Steering System

The Anduril crew was amazing at coming up with our emergency steering system.   After hoisting the storm sail and tricking the Auto Pilot system into steering us in the direction of San Fran until daylight, the crew brainstormed to create Prototype 1.  We had an e-tiller that come with the boat but it required you to lay on your belly to steer.   Luckily, the mechanism from the wind vane fit into the e-tiller and a custom solution was built.   Check out Prototype 1 and 2.   Prototype 1 required you to push with your foot to steer to port and pull with your hands to steer to starboard.
