Default The Better Cockpit

Yes, another problem as the wheel is within reach at all helm
positions. This can't be a good thing. We may switch to a folding wheel
and just keep it folded.


That ridiculously large wheel keeps you trapped behind it.

Great feature for single handing.

Why not get a smaller wheel and use a leg shackle to keep you on station?

That cockpit is designed around that pompous wheel.

If you look closely that cockpit only seats 4 not counting the helmsman.

It's a 35 footer isn't it?

I've seen daysailers 1/2 that size with more spacious cockpits.

Is this the picture you plan to post when you show 6 or 8 fitted into that
"cockpit":
