This was one of the most rewarding (and frustrating) projects I have ever undertaken. Inspired by another boats wheel and wanting something a little more special that the standard French whipping technique, I opted for coachwhipping - and to make it a little more challenging, I made it a 9 strand 😂 is it perfect? No. But it’s pretty darn close and I’m very proud of it! Will I do it again? Not unless I am paid handsomely 😝 You can figure out how to do this yourself by reading the step by step blog over on our website: https://www.svavocet.com/2026/06/13/how-to-wrap-a-sailboat-wheel/ Don't miss out on upcoming sailing adventures, DIY stories, and equipment reviews!
