You should see the cable steering system on the Grand Banks. It's quite a
setup. Plus, if it ever snapped, you pop out a circular cover on the aft
deck, insert a big, mahogany tiller with a metal cap onto the rudder post,
and keep on truckin'.

Now that's cool! Did it actually come with the tiller stowed away
somewhere?

Yup. Comes with the boat from Grand Banks. Also, if the engine dies you
can hoist the stabilizing sail on the mast and boom, insert the tiller and
sail back to your slip. Might take a year or two, but you'll get there.
