• By the most common definition, there are no wheels on my sailboat. but you could call a "BLOCK" with a rotating pulley in it a wheel. this would bring the sailboat up to 8 wheels.
• Some sailboat have just one wheel for the helm. some of the large sailing vessels had many, because the power needed to hold the helm was far more than one person could exert and power steering.
