Four models of classical carbon steering wheels are available in many diameters:
3 spokes (new TRANSAT series): diameter mm 900 or mm 1000.
5 spokes (AMERICA'S CUP series): from diameter mm 900 up to mm 1200.
6 spokes (AMERICA'S CUP series): from diameter mm 1400 up to mm 1800.
Y spokes (new ADMIRAL series): from diameter mm 1100 up to mm 1700.
The steering hub connection is cylindrical diameter mm. 25 or conical. The finishing is carbon fibre on view with transparent paint cover. All the wheels are built mixing carbon fibre and Kevlar. In this way we maximize strength, but the structure is not fragile; it means that we assure the right safety for our customers.
Ask to our sales department the catalogue of the Solimar steering wheels production.
Solimar manufactures a large range of steering wheels made of stainless steel A 304, titanium, aluminium, stainless steel and wood, carbon fibre, carbon fibre and wood, available in many versions: flat with standard, staggered, double and crossed spokes or “dish”, normal (ND), extra (ED) and super (SD) “dish”. All the steering wheel models are available with wooden rim, massive or lamellar mono-coloured or bi-coloured (on demand wooden connection on the spokes). All the steering wheels can be covered with leather or microfibre “lorica” on the rim (on demand partially also on the spokes) see covering page (under construction).

The standard Jefa steering wheels are produced in stainless steel 316 and cover a range from 600 mm to 1200 mm overall diameter in steps of 100 mm. The standard wheels up to 900 mm contain 5 tapered spokes, above 900 mm diameter the wheels contain 7 tapered spokes. The hub is made in one part and constructed on an ingenious way, so no welding of the spokes is visible at the outside. Jefa steering has chosen to use as standard a thicker diameter rim of 25 mm in stead of the industry standard of 22 mm. The standard wheels are available as polished version and covered with leather. All standard wheels are CE approved. Please click on the picture for a larger view.
The swinging pedestal is a very smart solution in creating a multiple steering position with the minimum in space lost in the cockpit. The pedestal can swing from port to starboard and can be fixed in three positions. As shown in above illustration, a swing pedestal with a 800 mm wheel can simulate a 2500 mm
