Material: Fiberglass
Lightweight: Fiberglass is an extremely lightweight composite material, making wheel helms easier to handle, even on large vessels.
Corrosion Resistance: Unlike stainless steel or aluminum, fiberglass does not rust and performs well in prolonged exposure to seawater and harsh marine conditions.
Durability: Fiberglass wheel helms are tough and resistant to impacts, making them ideal for marine use.
Low Maintenance: Unlike wood or other materials, fiberglass requires minimal maintenance.
Ergonomic Design
Shape and Comfort: Fiberglass wheel helms are often ergonomically designed, sometimes with non-slip or rubberized coatings, ensuring optimal comfort during maneuvers.
Variable Sizes: Available in different sizes (diameters) to suit the boat's size and the helmsman's preferences. Larger wheels offer better control and precision in steering, while smaller ones make for quicker maneuvers.
Technical Advantages
Rigidity: Fiberglass provides enough rigidity for a precise and quick response from the steering system.
Vibration Absorption: It absorbs vibrations better than metal, improving comfort, especially in choppy seas.
Customization and Aesthetics
Colors and Finishes: Fiberglass can be customized with various finishes (paint, gelcoat) and integrated into the overall design of the boat. It also comes in a variety of colors, allowing the wheel to match the cockpit’s aesthetic.
Modern Style: With its sleek and contemporary appearance, a fiberglass wheel helm adds a modern touch to the boat's steering system.
Fiberglass wheel helms are commonly used on cruising and racing sailboats due to their combination of lightweight, durability, and low maintenance. They are especially suitable for boats where performance and maneuverability are priorities, without compromising on aesthetic appeal or longevity.
