Not sure if anyone else has found the standard 32" wheel too small and hard to reach from the side of the cockpit when sailing but for me this was on my short list of improvements I wanted to make. We got a "good" price on the Lewmar 40" folding wheel at the Miami boat show so we went for it...got it installed last week and test sailed it this past Sunday.....the bottom line is I love it, worked great in some heavy seas going out Ponce Inlet and really allowed me to get to the side to see the headsail. The factory leather wrap is nice also!
