Default Reverse steering?

Have there been any production boats where the steering is reversed?


I have to move my tiller opposite to the direction I want the bow to
go...


I can imagine no advantage to a wheel that operates that way. A
tiller is intuitive (to me, anyway); likewise is a wheel. But to turn
a wheel in the opposite direction to the way I want the bow to go...I
just can't see it as anything but trouble.


The next time my BMW is in for a servioce, I'll get them to make this
modification, and let you all know the result.

This may well be my last post to this NG, so 'bye to you all!
