Some have been retrofitted with wheels.  My personal opinion is that 
this is a mistake.  The boat balances well (unless the main is bagged 
out) and doesn't need the mechanical advantage.  I wouldn't want the 
loss of sensitivity that comes with a wheel.  I find the A30 a dream to 
sail with a tiller.
