We do ;-) it's the pull-out shelf for the setee. Its rail would be the
emergency tiller.



Amel's come with a special tiller handle. The shaft fits into a deck
fitting in the aft cabin roof over the rudder post. Then, there's a
long, hand-carved matching mahogany tiller handle to match the mahogany
interior, perfectly. It stows in the passageway to the aft cabin. We
sailed with it, just for the hell of it, on a Saturday. Other sailors
look at you kinda funny standing back there by the mizzen with this big
tiller handle in your hand on such an expensive piece of fiberglass but
it DOES work...just fine....unless you bang your head on the mizzen boom,
of course...(c;
