CC vs pilot house
Ok. I need help. We are looking at a pilot house 43'. We want to live
aboard her and next summer start out on a pacific cruise from Maryland. My dilemma is which would work better for us? What are the pros and cons of each type of vessel? We really want something with some room to it. thanks Jim |

What are the pros and cons of each type of vessel? We really want something with some room to it. By "CC" I assume you mean Center Cockpit... Individual designs vary a LOT, but in general, the 2 biggest advantages to CCs are a large aft cabin and "up high/up front" visibility. The disadvantages are aesthetics and access to the transom as a swim platform or for dinghy access. Pilot houses and "deck saloons" are very popular right now. Advantages are headroom and light in the 'house, and a secure steering station out of the weather. Disadvantage is windage, compared with "normal" aft-cockpit designs (which applies to CCs as well). For a long cruise, I prefer a pilot house. |
