ABSTRACT:
A kinetic integral steering system is provided for a sailboat of the type having a hull, a cockpit with a pair of side cockpit seats located at the stern, a cabin, a mast, a boom, a rudder with post and a pivotable tiller to control the rudder. The system consists of a pair of crossbars, a mechanism for securing the crossbars between the cockpit seats in a horizontal parallel relationship and a wheel concentrically pivoted between the center of the crossbars. The wheel has a cutout area to receive the tiller to normally keep the tiller in a straight stationary position to allow the sailboat to travel in a straight line through the water. The tiller can be adjustably positioned thereto to compensate for wind and course corrections.
