Glass Steering Wheels

Carbonautica offer yacht steering wheel designs in affordable glass fibre composite versions.

GFC wheels have a performance that's very close to carbon, but at a fraction of the cost.

Our GFC sailboat steering wheels are manufactured using a mold injection process, improving strength and quality, as well as making production times faster and more optimized. They're so well engineered that with an aluminum hub, a glass fibre composite wheel has a similar overall weight to the carbon fibre version, but at a far lower price.

Carbonautica wheels come in a choice of three bespoke patterns. The sport with Y-shaped spokes that tend to be popular with race yachts, five-spoke, which looks great on more traditional sailboats, and a really elegant three-spoke pattern. Diameters generally range from 600 and 1700 mm. In terms of finish, clear lacquer is the obvious choice for carbon, but can be painted if you prefer, as black may not be the best option in hot climates. There's a choice of eight standard gloss paint finishes for both carbon and GFC wheels.

Once you've decided on your spoke design and finish, we can help you work out the correct hub to fit your wheel pedestal. Carbonautica has standard 25 mm hub profiles for Edson, Lewmar, Jefa and Goiot. Custom profiles also possible for Edson, Jefa, JP3, Solimar and others. Please get in touch and between us and Carbonautica, we'll make sure you have a perfect fit.
