Sailboat steering wheel – 5 spoke (Carbon fiber)

The Carbonautica Carbon sailboat steering wheel represents the pinnacle of helm performance—engineered for sailors who demand maximum strength, minimum weight, and uncompromising responsiveness. Crafted from high-grade carbon fiber, it delivers exceptional stiffness and precision, making it the preferred choice for high-performance yachts and premium builds.

⚓ Key Advantages of Carbon

• Ultimate performance & stiffness
  Full carbon construction provides maximum rigidity and instant response, ensuring precise control in all sailing conditions.
• Ultra-lightweight design
  Designed to minimize rotational inertia, resulting in faster feedback and more responsive steering—especially noticeable on twin-wheel setups.
• Premium construction
  Built as a monocoque structure with no joints or secondary bonding, maximizing strength and durability.
• High-end aesthetic
  Distinctive exposed carbon weave delivers a sleek, technical, and luxury appearance.

⚖️ Wheel Weight

Carbonautica carbon wheels are among the lightest available on the market, with weight depending on diameter:

• 700 mm: approx. 1.40 kg
• 800 mm: approx. 1.50 kg
• 900 mm: approx. 1.60 kg
• 1000 mm: approx. 1.80 kg
• 1100 mm: approx. 2.00 kg
• 1200 mm: approx. 2.20 kg

Larger diameters scale accordingly up to approx. 3.8 kg (1700 mm).
All weights are without hub and may vary ±5%. (hub weight is aprox 350g)

💡 This extremely low weight significantly reduces helm inertia and autopilot load, enhancing overall sailing performance.

🔧 Compatibility (Standard vs Slim Hub)

Carbonautica carbon wheels are supplied with standard aluminium hubs compatible with major steering systems, ensuring seamless integration. Slim hub versions are designed as direct replacements from stainless steel wheels, often allowing existing brake spinners and components to be retained.

Compatible systems include:

• Edson (1” cone)
• Lewmar (25 mm cone)
• Jefa (25 mm)
• Goiot (25 mm cone)

Custom hubs are also available for specific steering systems or OEM applications. For more information, please send us an inquiry.

💡 Both hub types maintain identical structural integrity—the choice depends on installation requirements and cockpit layout.
