Default Pilothouse Sailboats Offer Superior Cruising

Maybe you should get a flying bridge

I have actually seen a couple of megayacht sailing machines with
flybridges over the last couple of years.


Heck yeah. When you've got 150'+ of LOA to work with, you can put in
all kind of stuff that won't fit on a smaller boat. It can even look
pretty sleek.

I'd kind of like to have a dinghy garage, with room for at least a
half-dozen Lasers, a couple of Melges 24s, a 25~30' center console
runabout, and a 30' IB commuter gig. Then, a hot tub on the foredeck
(with a pushbutton retractable solid cover, of course). A gimballed
(maybe gyro-stabilized) pool room. A boat with room for all that,
who's gonna notice the flying bridge?
