Best Answer

The steering wheel on a yacht is called a 'helm'. There are different types of helms depending on the boat. Large yachts most commonly have wheels that are cable or hydraulic driven. Smaller yachts commonly have a 'tiller'. A tiller is still the helm, however instead of a wheel it is a lever attached directly to the rudder post or stock. A tiller is always moved opposite to the direction you intend to turn the boat. No matter the type, the person steering the boat is called the 'helmsman'.
