Interesting... maybe I was thinking of another boat.


You can't afford one!

A slab of wood with some pensils hidden underneath? I dunno.

The original thread is somewhat nonsensical, no? Isn't like bubbles would
need a proper nav station for day sailing LIS, would he? Do you need a
"proper nav station" when you sail a Cal 20 on SF Bay? The only folks that
really need a "proper nav station" are folks that do more navigation than
line of sight day sailing, which is all that bubbles has ever done, and
based on his "steep learning curve", is all that he will ever do. He can
impress the lubbers though, seems to be his forte. Donal's post was quite
appropriate, under the circumstances.

#1) It remains to be seen how much cruising we'll do.
#2) The thread was about properly sized nav tables, not on who will use
it or how. If I never use it it's still a better nav station than
yours, just like my boat, sitting unused in a wharehouse....is still a
better boat than yours.
#3) Don't you own a Catalina 28, the boat that shows less imagination
of it's owner than even a Catalina 25?

You're right on. The only time I've used the nav station on the Yamaha 30
was during the teaching of a class.

We used the nav station on Alien quite a bit. I used it more as a
writing area when I spent weekends aboard.

How often did you use beside for writing? Certainly not much I suspect for
an hour or three sail.

Used it when we went sailing around NY harbor, Thimble Islands, Norwalk
and pretty much any time we took the boat someplace new, like
Centerport or Port Jeff. As a desk it was used often and it's where the
computer was situated as well. A nav station/desk is a nice thing to
have and if we see our long term plans through ours will get plenty of
use over the next 4-5 years. Like the swim platform it's just another
nice thing to have, even better when it's a proper size. The nav table
on Alien, while typical of most boats under 40 feet, was a bit small.
