Has thethe wheel design been discussed in Hot Liquid thread?

dont twist things.as i have allready said not necessary a brv thing. not confined to one boat.it is not a major safty thing unless you happen to fall hard against it and break two or more .a small number by manu standards could be a lot(i think volvo use a thousand)thay were not my boats(i like something a bit heavier)it was given by me as a cautionary warning from personal experiance.the helm in question is like bav pic but with out the inner clamp.but hay if your allso good you dont need any advise/help/caution from what ever direction great cause your all better than me,and before any body says it im just an ok sailor

Am sure no one wanted to upset you just trying to clarify the issue. You are of course right this is not just a Bavaria issue as the lewmar wheel is standard in many boats from Beneteaus to Hallberg Rassy's, I think that is why people are interested

fireball..my point as i tried to make ages ago

yup - so the weld is there as a non-structural part - the hub should take the load ...

I looked at them last year when we were taking the wheel off to take home and do some of the leather work - otherwise I wouldn't have had a clue how they were fastened ..
As previously said I will be checking the emergency tiller .. it looked ok but worth a second check.

well bav thats a well beefed up wheel you have there.not the norm i belive,well it was,nt when i sailed bavs and it would take some of the flexing out putting less strain on the hub where I HAVE SEEN PERSONALLY SOME BREAK..i do not make stories up to get attention

rib,

What's beefed up about the wheel in the photo? It looks much like that on any number of Bavarias to me.
