Susy standing on the helm seat simply because there isn't room for
human
body to sit comfortable behind the wheel.


Uh...what? The only person who's feet are too big for that station is
me. Everyone else can stand behind the wheel. But stand on the seat and
you get great visibility. Sit on the high side and same deal and the
wheel is right there. Awesome!
Heeled, the coaming is a secure brace, but it's easier to just sit at
that point.
As far as people in the cockpit, I'll post with at least 6 seated to
show the room. What we really dig is how comfortable the cockpit is.

Another two people in the Cockpit and that's it: period.


Funny, Thom. Did you LOOK at that pic. There are 4 people in the
cockpit and no one is in the center seat in front of the coaming. Try
the math again and you'll get 7 plus helm = 8 people. Still, 6 is
better.
Pics to prove it soon, Thom and your cockpit demensia will fade.

That's not the boat's fault.

Besides, I'd be curious to know who that really is in the picture, and if
they know Bubbles is using it to "back up" his internet fantasy life.

Sister and nephew.

I suppose it's pleasing to know that Thomas, Suzanne and my boat are so
sweet that members here "hope" it's not true.
Sorry, folks. I AM that lucky!

Yeah Sure Nutsy,

If it's big enough for you, so be it.

Looks like a PITA to get around that wheel, no?

Scot, that is the PRIME reason for the huge wheel; to
allow the Helms
person to stand on the seat and maintain Wheel contact.
It's a very poor
Helm station.
Note how the Wheel uses of the whole T
on the cut out, to give it enough rise for helmperson
person; even a
small helmperson to just about reach the wheel at the top.

That just
abouts eliminates high siding when she starts real heeling

Hey Nutsy, nice picture.

When I singlehand, getting around the wheel and getting to
the
cabin-top traveler means some nimble footwork. The 35s5 in
her normal
configuration is not for the elderly sailor. We haven't
had a problem
thus far.

That's a nice way of saying ''poor design''.

Yeah...no one wants a cabin-top traveler or large wheel connected to
superior R&P steering....the same used by C&C and X-Yachts today!

Poor Sloco and Scotty!

Bob, you sure are going out of your way to prove what a big
cockpit you have. Is there a problem?
