The new small one by Exit Engineering
To
complete Exit Engineering's range a new carbon fibre steering wheel was
put into production upon request of a well-known foreign shipyard and a
few sailing teams.The preference agreed to Exit Engineering, against
the competition of companies that already produced wheels of this
diameter, confirms the high professionalism and reliability recognized
to this young Italian industry by the international markets.
Here the measures: overall diameter 1050 mm, hub thickness 60 mm, rim thickness 35 mm, weight 1,6 kg.
As all Exit Engineering's steering wheels it is built with the patented Continuous Shell Construction Process and designed using the most modern software of structural simulation. The industrial process consolidated and perfected in five years of production permits Exit Engineering to obtain an extremely light, strong and cost competitive steering wheel. Exit Engineering confirms the elegant, widely appreciated 3 spoke design that allows a clear view of the instruments. The standard finishing is high gloss carbon fibre with transparent anti UV coating. The wheel is supplied with the suitable hub for any steering brand, built with aluminum alloy and protected with hard anodizing against corrosion and wear. It's easy to install.
The steering wheels range now comprises diameters of 90 cm, 105 cm, 120 cm, 160 cm, 170 cm, and 180 cm.
Exit Engineering's steering wheels are cured in an autoclave at high pressure and temperature and are built in one piece becoming a strong monocoque carbon fibre structure with a perfect finish without any sanding, filling or polishing. The much lower rotational inertia of Exit Engineering's steering wheels compared to heavier brands makes for a much more responsive helm. This gives a serious advances to the racer and less fatigue to the cruiser increasing the pleasure and precision of manoeuvres. It is also stated that the power drain on the auto-pilot system becomes considerably lower too.
The delivery time for the complete production that comprises also
carbon fibre gangways is 8 to 12 days, and very consistent. This is the
big difference between a modern industrial production and an hand-made
one.

January 2006 - Dusseldorf Boat Show
Exit Engineering is steadily improving its reputation as an innovative yet consistent carbon fibre equipment supplier.
True to its name, Exit Engineering opens new real world opportunities to those boatyards who seek high quality alternatives to traditional marine equipment with no risk of inconsistent delivery schedules.
By bringing into play pre-pregs and autoclave curing, coupled with thorough process engineering, Exit Engineering became a supplier of Dehler Deutschland GmbH for its new 47 SQ sailing yacht which will be introduced at Boot Dusseldorf, Hall 17, Stand C19, from January 21 to 29.
Exit
Engineering's Technical Director will be in Dusseldorf on the first
weekend, 21-22 January, for the official introduction of this new boat and
he'll be glad to meet interested persons. Please contact Exit
Engineering's offices to set up a meeting in Dusseldorf.
Growing Numbers
We were very pleased when Dehler called to tell us of this new, carbon fibre cruiser racer. They told us they wanted to equip it with our carbon fibre gangways, acknowledging their quality, but also understanding that our technology was the ideal solution for the production volumes of a boatyard like Dehler.
This kind of boatyard needs consistent high quality, on time deliveries, and the guarantee that production will be able to meet demand. The only solution allowing the simultaneous achievement of these three goals is a series production driven by careful process engineering, whilst paying attention to product engineering.
What is required is depth of design experience, a highly specialized workforce and a broad knowledge of production processes. Exit Engineering has all this qualities coupled with the high motivation of a young and growing company.
This
makes Exit Engineering the perfect partner for the boatyards who manufacture
high tech boats in an industrial setting, with medium to big volume series
production.
December 2005 - Salon Nautique de Paris
Our French dealer Amati Yachts Services will be in charge of our next boat show exhibition with our 160 cm wheel and 216 cm foldable gangway in Hall 1 Stand H93 at the Salon Nautique de Paris, from 3 to 12 December.
Exit Engineering's innovative wheels: now it's official
An
International Search Report by the European Patent Office confirmed the
Novelty, Inventive step, and Industrial applicability of Exit
Engineering's International PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) concerning its
Continuous Shell construction method for making carbon fibre steering
wheels in one piece.
This
report is valid in any country adhering to the PCT. 128 countries are
signatories to the PCT, including all of the major industrialised
countries.
After
the successful filing for an Italian Patent in 2004, followed by the
Nomination at DAME Awards 2004 at its first presentation at METS in
Amsterdam, this is another important endorsement of the quality of Exit
Engineering's wheels.
In the meantime, Exit Engineering has been extending its range of sailing yacht steering wheels, distinguished from the competition by being a single hollow monocoque carbon fibre structure, with no glue join lines or weak joints.
The range comprises diameters; 90 cm (1.6 kg), 120 cm (2.1 kg) and 160 cm (3.5 kg) in the new 3 spoke design, which leave an unobstructed view of the instruments. The range is completed by the 180 cm wheel, with its 7 spoke architecture, which brings the weight down to just 3.3 kg. Retail prices from €2.395.
All Exit Engineering's products are series built with pre-preg carbon fibres and are cured at high pressure and temperature in an autoclave.
Access to complex industrial processes is available to Exit Engineering by vertical integration with one of the major composites industries in Europe, who supply structural components to Formula 1, America's Cup and several aerospace industries. This agreement allows Exit Engineering to concentrate on its core competencies of R&D, design and product development, product assembly, sales and marketing, and distribution.
November 2005 - Gangway has been nominated at Dame Awards 2005
Our biggest, 3.5 meter gangway has been nominated for the DAME Awards 2005 in the Deck Equipment category.
We are really proud of this important recognition by the DAME Jury, coming in a row, after our Nomination at DAME 2004 with our first wheel, testifying the persistent success of Exit Engineering's R&D program.
At 3500mm long and weighing just 13 kg it is designed for one person to handle and deploy with ease.
Because of its incredibly light weight, Exit Engineering has been able to break with the tradition of gangways being narrow.
At 600 mm wide, this new gangway is 50% wider than most comparable products, making for a safe, comfortable crossing from ship to shore.
No more dangerous balancing acts on long narrow boards!
Manufactured using carbon/epoxy pre-pregs and autoclave curing in female moulds, this gangway has a max load of 350 kg and a beautiful high gloss carbon fibre finish.
November 2005 - New, even lighter gangway, will be introduced at METS
An
even lighter carbon fibre gangway will be introduced by Exit
Engineering at METS 2005 in Amsterdam.
This new 2.2 meter model features the usual Exit Engineering elliptical rounded profile on a much thinner body, bringing its weight down to just 3.8 kg! The max load is still the safe 350 kg distinguishing Exit Engineering's line of gangways.
This technological step wasn't obtained by increasing the price, which actually has been decreased to an affordable €1.785.

We are glad to be technical sponsor of Jeroboam, the Swan 45 managed by the Sailing Planet team, obtaining excellent results in the most important Mediterranean regattas.
METS 2004 - DAME AWARD NOMINATION
Design Award METS, better known as DAME, is the most prestigious prize for boat equipment products and it is the only prize which does not have to be assigned each year. In fact, it is only assigned if products which have enough qualities to merit the award are submitted.
For the same reason, the jury, led by the famous boat designer Tony Castro, has no obligation to nominate products in each category.
EXIT ENGINEERING is thus really proud of their nomination for their patented carbon fibre steering wheel, in the most crowded category of deck equipment.
The nomination represents major recognition of this young company's innovative products.
