helm

Have an extra wheel since replacing with folding version. This is a really nice stainless wheel with an excellent rope wrap. Has a 1"hub with spacer washer. First $100 and U arrange pick-up.

This question was posted in a different thread I got some great suggestions on how to fix a flexing helm on a late 80s E34, to add specificity to the question as no E34 owners chimed in, I thought I would create a new thread on the topic: I just inspected an 89' E34 and found that the Edson...

I've been thinking about adding a helm seat (hump) for a while. With the typical strong spring/summer winds here in the Monterey Bay I've been doing a lot of sliding around at the helm. Hope to try it out this evening.

Someone wanted a pic a long while back of the instruments/chartplotter installation on my E38. Maybe LBertran? Can't remember, but I finally remembered to get the pic! I can't take credit for moving them from the cockpit bulkhead to the helm, the PO did that, I just updated them and left them...

Sailing my E27 (wheel) in moderate to strong conditions I get a lot of weather helm on starboard tacks. In light winds the helm is pretty well balanced, both starboard and port tack. In 14 knots and above the wheel on a port tack will be at most positioned at 1:30 and on starboard tack at 7:00...

Folks, I am very new to sailing, so guestion might sound stupid :confused:... We were out on our e29 with couple of friends who had sailed for a long time (they had catalinas and sabers) and they talked us into trying to sail under jib only. Wind was about 12-15 knots with very calm water...

Rough but available - starting bid $300 - complete with idlers & plate. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/WHEEL-HELM-FROM-TILLER-CONVERSION-BY-YACHT-SPECIALTIES_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ31281QQihZ005QQitemZ150235068833QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

My question concerns extreme weather helm. I bought my 1984 Ericson 30+ a little over a year ago. A couple of times, when sailing, the wind was blowing some 15 to 20 knots. With full sails up (110% jib), I experienced what I believed to be extreme weather helm. Whenever I would bear off from...

Hello All, I went racing with a club member on his C&C 35 and watched carefully how that boat was trimmed, etc. I have also spoken to a few other racers about sail trim, weather helm, etc. Then I have tried to apply this advice to my E38. I have been told that I should be able to trim the...

I am a new owner of a 1972 25 cb model. I love the boat, but am just really getting to know it. I previously sailed extensively on my sisters E-23, which is why when this boat came up for sale, i jumped on it. I'm running a 100, 130, and 150 Genoa on various winds. On all the sails, I notice...

I am looking at several models of charting units that I can mount on the SS grab bar at the wheel. At the moment the Garmin 292C is looking kinda likely. Which antenna -- internal or an external? FWIW, My trips this summer on OPB's included some quality time with one of these and a 172C...

When we got La Petite she had an ugly, really oversized J24 genoa. With that genoa La Petite had almost neutral helm. Once we got a properly sized genoa from Seth, La Petite started showing excessive weather helm whenever the wind really picks up and we are close hauled. We'll reef to reduce...
