What we do

Performance Composites specialise in High Quality steering systems for High Performance Racing Yachts.

Our race wheel and pedestal have been designed with performance in mind. The Pedestal includes a strong, easily maintained steering head system. They are a combination that is light weight, high strength and aerodynamic; a pair that will stand apart from the crowd.

We can supply the wheels and pedestals separately to be combined with other existing steering systems. We can ship our products anywhere in the world.

"I first saw the carbon helms at the Auckland boat show and was very impressed with the style and quality... Chris was very responsive and helpful; I soon ordered a pair. Chris worked with my Edson Steering provider to match the fittings. The process was effortless, with smooth logistics, and the end product is fantastic. Well done Performance Composites.
