Must say I have come to like the big wheel on my boat. It gives fingertip control from many different positions in the cockpit. It has enough intertia to be spun lock to lock very quickly. It obstructs the cockpit a bit, but everthing is a compromise.

Exactly what my wheel does on a 10 meter trimaran ! 2.5 turns lock to lock.
No weatherhelm when 30 degrees to weather or any other angle.
Well maybe a tiny bit when on a screaming beam reach, but nothing the Autohelm 4000 can't handle unless we see 30 knots with a double reef !
Well, Im definitely not referencing the real modern day style pirate.
Were talking Capt. Jack Sparrow type pirates, i.e.. the playing pirates for fun on halloween kind of pirate.
