South Atlantic Self-Steering Gears®
Freedom to sail. Precision you can trust.
Experience true offshore independence with South Atlantic self-steering wind vanes. Designed for sailors who demand reliability and performance, our systems let you sail longer, safer, and with complete confidence—without relying on electronics.
Our range includes the lightweight and efficient S 301, as well as the powerful S500 and flagship S600, engineered for maximum control in all conditions. The S500 and S600 models come equipped with an integrated emergency rudder, giving you an essential backup system when it matters most.
Every South Atlantic wind vane is built around three core principles: simplicity, strength, and reliability. With customizable options and 7-inch model configurations, each unit can be tailored to perfectly match your boat and sailing style.
Installation is fast and straightforward. In most cases, your system can be fully installed and ready for sea trials in just 2–4 hours—no specialized tools or complex procedures required.
