Default The Better Cockpit

Scotty,

Susy standing on the helm seat simply because there isn't room for human
body to sit comfortable behind the wheel.

Scot, that is the PRIME reason for the huge wheel; to allow the Helms
person to stand on the seat and maintain Wheel contact. It's a very poor
Helm station.
Note how the Wheel uses of the whole T
on the cut out, to give it enough rise for helmperson person; even a
small helmperson to just about reach the wheel at the top.

Another two people in the Cockpit and that's it: period. That just
abouts eliminates high siding when she starts real heeling

Hey Nutsy, nice picture.
