Answer:

Large wheel.

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be easier for the captain to turn a large wheel as compared to a small wheel because less amount of effort is needed by the captain to turn the rudder. If a steering wheel is small, more effort and force is required to turn it while on the other hand, if the steering wheel is large, small effort is needed to turn the rudder. The large size of a sailing boat's steering wheel can help the captain to have more control over the boat as compared to small steering wheel and he is able to access it from either side of the boat.
