    M Rud - Testimonials

    "In 2003-2004 we sailed from the UK, around South America and back - a logged distance of 20.000 miles. Most of this trip was under sail and we used the Monitor self-steering for most of the time. We lost our rudder in the South Atlantic halfway between Estrecho de Magalles and Buenos Aires.
     
    The MRUD was rigged and steered us the remaining 500 nm to Mar del Plata in Argentina. We could,
    literally, have been lost without it."
    ​
    -Andrew Wilkes
    "Leg 1 is over, South Carolina arrived in Cape Town without a rudder, and what will be documented is
    that the 2300 miles I sailed without a rudder are without a doubt the most difficult and demanding 2300
    miles I have ever sailed - or ever want to sail.

    It was a far more difficult proposition than my 2,500 mile jury rig sail in the southern ocean around Cape
    Horn to the Falkland Islands after my leg 3 dismasting in the 1994-95 BOC race.

    I can only strongly recommend that all MONITOR users going offshore take the MRUD system as their
    emergency steering system, it will without any doubt get them into port should the ultimate mishap of
    broken rudder occur. I would strongly recommend they try it out beforehand”
