WHEEL CHANGE

The steering wheel on this Bénéteau Oceanis 41.1 sailboat has been replaced with a black Carbonautica fiberglass composite model that better complements the boat.

It weighs 2 to 3 times less than the standard stainless steel wheel, resulting in less inertia in the steering system when the autopilot is engaged—especially since all production boats today come equipped with two wheels.

The wheel feels much better in the hands and is far more comfortable thanks to its shape and larger diameter (excellent grip; no need for leather to achieve a comfortable feel).
