I thought it would having something to do with the rotation of the

would balance it out....

Why do most boats have "right hand" steering? Almost all cars in the
US are set up with left hand steering and we drive on the right side of

craft would have the same set up.

it is traditional only? or is there some mystical reasoning for it?

Thanks!
