Steering wheels are the heart of the steering system on wheel-steered sailboats. More than just a simple control: they represent direct contact between the helmsman and the sea , an element that combines ergonomics, sensitivity, and design .

Available in a wide range of materials, sizes and configurations , steering wheels must ensure precise control , weather resistance and an aesthetic impact consistent with the style of the vessel.

Main features

• Materials : anodized aluminum, marine stainless steel, carbon, teak or hybrid combinations
• Design : spoked, curved or straight spokes, with ergonomic handle and non-slip grip
• Customizations : variable diameter (usually from 700 mm to 1200 mm), nautical leather upholstery, soft-touch handles

Double or single wheels?

• Single wheels are perfect for more compact boats or leisurely cruising, where simplicity is a priority.
• Double wheels offer greater visibility when sailing , especially on performance and racing boats, and allow for smoother passage in the cockpit.

Functional elegance

A good steering wheel is one that disappears under the hands, becoming a natural extension of the helmsman's body. Whether cruising or racing, in classic wood or high-tech fiber, steering wheels represent the perfect balance between form and function .

Choose the right wheel, and every turn will become a harmonious gesture.
