About us
Ikibro is a privately owned company focusing on the production of
custom steering wheels for yachts. The owners are two brothers for whom
sailing has been a life long passion since early childhood. The brothers are
fourth generation master woodworkers who have combined their skill and
love of sailing to restore as well as build fine wooden yachts. They have
developed the LWR (laminated wood rim) system for custom steering
wheels design and production. Each wheel is built individually with the
utmost care and to the highest quality standards.
Ikibro is proud to offer custom helm wheels suited for both sail and
motor yachts with worldwide availability.

İkibro wheels will ensure the quality of your boat with their exquisite handmade wooden
rims and first quality stainless steel polished craftsmanship. The 32 mm thick wooden rim made
using the LWR technique is eye-catching both in terms of its warm appearance, its sturdiness,
and ergonomic usage. The tandem spokes in the type “A” group which add an extraordinary
strength to the wheel are 12 mm in diameter and are made from first quality 316 stainless steel
solid metal. The hub which bears no welding marks is also made from first quality 316 stainless
steel. Thanks to the universal adapter, İkibro wheels can be fitted easily.

İkibro offers you the option to present your very own design which will make your boat
even more special for you, and guarantees to prepare your custom design steering wheel
from first quality material. Custom designs of your choice and preference are prepared in 3D
on the computers in our office, and technical details and requirements are dealt with during
this early process. If you want, durability tests are performed by our testing department.
Technical details
The LWR Technique,
The LWR technique produces a uniform wheel which is integrated as a single piece. The
superior strength and reliability of the wheel lies in the unique LWR laminating system which pro-
duces a wheel without joints.
Traditional wooden wheel construction techniques, unlike the LWR technique, require the
use of 8 or more joints. Overtime these joints are subject to failure due to stresses associated
with changes in temperature, humidity and mechanical forces. Ultimately wooden wheels
which are joined are subject to multiple points of failure and may rely solely upon the adhesive
bond to hold the joint together. These bonds may fail as well.
LWR technique produces a wooden wheel of exceptional quality and reliability without
any joints or potential failure points. Superior strength is achieved by optimizing the direction of
the wood grain during the application of many fine layers of laminate during the manufacturing
process. Another benefit associated with the superior strength characteristics of the LWR manu-
facturing process is a wheel that is also lighter than other wheels of a similar size. Ikibro wheels
are aesthetically pleasing and better suited to withstand the elements.

Coating,
We choose to use high quality products by BASF to ensure our steering wheel rims are
resistant to all types of weather conditions; to water, to the sun, and temperature differences.
Stainless Steel,
All stainless steel pieces are made from first quality 316 stainless steel and are polished
by expert craftsmen with great care.

Install,
Each steering wheel comes with a total of three adapters: one delrin adapter com-
patible with 25 mm tapered shaft, one delrin adapter compatible with 25 mm straight
shaft, and one solid without hole delrin adapter. You can fix the appropriate adapter onto
your shaft and complete the fitting of your wheel by simply fixing it onto the adapter as
shown in the image below.
Certificate,
Our products have been awarded CE documentations by the world’s leading marine
group certification company IMCI, and fulfill all CE directives.
In compliance with ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007 standards, the Inte-
grated Management System is used in our establish.
In compliance with 5S principles, the GWP (Good Workplace Practices) method is practiced
in all production areas.
