It is a tradition based on the timeless values of innovation, integrity, quality and value. Edson Engineering Innovation begins at the product development stage. As boaters, we are constantly on the lookout for ideas and improvements that can make your time spent on the water safer and more fun. We spend considerable time listening to what you and other sailors have to say about the Edson products you use. For example, you asked for more room to move around the pedestal and easier access to pedestal mounted instruments and controls. Edson's new ACCESS Steering Wheels (see page 26) were designed to provide access through the cockpit and access to the pedestal - with reaching through the wheel spokes. Edson Quality can be seen in every product we manufacture. We build products that will unquestionably stand up to the unforgiving marine environment. The Steering System is the "most important system on your boat" - without directional control a vehicle (your boat) becomes a shelter. Edson's new SPEEDSTEER™ Multi-Mode Steerer provides multiple steering 'gears' for a broad range of sailing conditions. A first in steering technology, our new compact design is perfect for many of today's offshore cruising yachts, 65' and larger. | | | | | | | | | | Edson Value relates to the price you pay for a product, its features, its benefits, and most important — its life expectancy. Edson's Drop Leaf Table, rated #1 by Practical Sailor Magazine, comes with all non-magnetic hardware, is constructed of solid teak, and features hinges that are the finest available to us. You'll pay more for an Edson Table initially, but they're built to last a lifetime. Few companies in the marine industry, or any industry for that matter, can claim to be in continual operation for nearly 150 years. We've been around that long because we have a strong foundation built on honesty and integrity. The Edson Team is committed to providing you, day in and day out, with Engineering Innovation, Quality and Value. Come see the Edson Team and our products at our factory, at a boatshow, at your local dealer, online, or throughout this catalog - our most extensive yet. We look forward to meeting you and receiving your input. | | | | | | | | | | Our Best Personal Regards, | | | | | | | | | | President General Manager | | | | | | | | | | Helpful Symbols | | | | | | | | | | o u o | | | | | | | | | | Important!
