I think Peregrine is 1 or 1 1/2 turns. The way our boats were designed, they don't need a ton of the mechanical advantage that increases the number of turns lock to lock to steer them--they are sweetly well-balanced and always fun to steer. On some boats, steering is like having an argument you're determined to win, but it takes a lot out of you. With our boats, steering is more like having a conversation with a beautiful woman before you make love.
