Default Forward Facing Port?

Karin Conover-Lewis wrote:
Well, different ports will offer differing visibility. Our CT-41 was a
pilothouse model, with an inside helm. Naturally there were substantial
ports on both sides as well as forward, plus a hatch directly above the helm
station. Visibility from there was excellent except for astern. The
stateroom, forward, had smaller opening ports on the forward bulkhead, but
virtually no visibility from them. If you can place ports or deadlights in a
way that will increase your visibility from below, while maintaining
seaworthiness, I would be highly in favour of it. Because there are just
times when going below is necessary, but you still want to see what's going
on around you.


That's what I've been thinking!
