That is an interesting response. It doesn't really
answer the question of why there are two claims for AVS.

I would however, put great faith in the Vancouver 460
for two reasons;
-I think that Harris is a good proven offshore yacht
designer, and
-Tayana is a proven offshore yacht builder.

Further to that, if the pilothouse is a very strong
structure and the windows can be fitted with storm
covers (that are kept onboard), I would be comfortable
taking the yacht on any normal cruising route.

But then again, I like pilothouses.

Perhaps the AVS would be 0 degree (or 180 degrees ?)
if the pilothouse is watertight. The dealer in San Diego
told me that Tayana will remove this claim from their
web site but I think they don't work on their web site
very often.

Tayana offers pilothouse storm shutters for $1575.
That seems pricey but I haven't had any made for my boat yet. They
should be pretty skookum for $1500.
