Lewmar Folding Wheels

Lewmar has introduced an off the shelf version of its innovative custom Folding Wheel at a price that will appeal to everyone, and features a completely new and unique fast action folding system.
Conventional wheels acts as a barrier across most cockpits, effectively reducing space and movement. The Lewmar Folding Wheel has resolved this problem by introducing a revolutionary concept in on board space saving solutions.
Its versatility makes it ideal for a wide range of yachts including those with twin wheeled layout. When the wheel not in use it can be folded to give better visibility to instruments and improved access whilst under way.
The Lewmar Folding Wheel has a unique hingeing system, which allows fast action handgrip release to fold and unfold the wheel. The two-turn buttress-threaded split-spoke design is operated by the simple twist of the composite hand grip. The system is patent pending.
