I had it done to mine, in a color to match the hull, for about $250 plus
shipping 4-5l years ago. Still looks like new--virtually indestructable IMHO in
the NC sun (no cover).
Not as traditional as the leather but a lot easier on me!
?
Also the local UPS store let me ship it without having it wrapped--which was a
real time saver with a 54 inch wheel. The company wraps it in cardboard for the
return trip however.

All,
With Tom going the leather route for covering his wheel, has anyone had
any experience with ColorWheelz? (http://www.colorwheelz.com)?
All the best,

Tom,
It all looks great! ?
I can never justify the price of a leather cover, especially since I usually
wear gloves.

Here an update on our current winter projects.? Nothing like what Harry is
doing with Mirage, but baby steps... ;)??
Partial Sole Refinish.
After the extended discussions of everything from Varnish to cows, I though I
would share the result of our partial sole refinish project.? Most of the sole
on Alera looked great, except for one section at the bottom of the steps down
into the main cabin.? Lynn pulled that section and did most of the work,
including the selection of the Deft Polyurethane Semi Gloss finish.? Lynn has
always handled the bright work on Jubilee (our former 72 MK1). And is now
started to work her magic on Alera. We did 4 coats and it looks like it will
match up with the existing finish perfectly.

For my part I am in the process of putting a sweet Boatleather cover, with
padding, on the 48" Edson wheel.? In cold weather the bare metal would just
leach the heat from my fingers, so this will be a welcome upgrade.? I rigged a
bicycle stand to hold the wheel so I can do it in the house.? It is a tedious
job, and I'm about 1/2 done so far.? I plan on finishing it up during the big
game today.
Here's how it looks so far -
