Royal Huisman selected Edson International to deliver a custom steering system for the all-new sailing superyacht NGONI, also known as The Beast and hull 398. The company has successfully completed the quadrant to control the 58-metre sailing yacht NGONI. This represents the first step in finishing the steering system, due to be delivered and installed in the upcoming months. Edson’s innovative and reliable mechanical steering will deliver the ultimate control at the helm, allowing the owner to feel the heartbeat of this striking vessel.

Edson created a quadrant to control luxury yacht NGONI (The Beast, hull 398) with a record wire size groove of 12,7 millimeters (½ inch) and a bore measuring 710 millimeters (28 inches), three times larger than Edson has ever manufactured in their history. Crafted from light-weight marine grade aluminum, the 1000 millimeter (39,4 inch) quadrant radius provides a portion of the mechanical advantage that allows for a light touch at the helm. Moreover, all parts are precision machined to tight tolerance, guaranteeing a silky smooth feel that will deliver even the subtlest rudder feedback to the helmsman.
