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



Yeah, but it seems all too important to you and others that it be small
and not be up to handling 6 people or more. Anyway it's not only the
size of the cockpit, but how I use it. Note that Suzanne is smiling in
those pics? Come to think of it, the girl on the left is my
ex-girlfriend from Ghost and she's also smiling!

Did you mean "presently" or "at present".
Just wondering.

Do you mean to put everyone to sleep?
Way to screw up a fun troll, dude.

Suzanne is not displaying a gingival smile, nor is she using any of the
involuntary muscles that are employed in a spontaneous smile.

That is a small cockpit with a ridiculously large wheel. I don't think you
can get a larger wheel.

Traditionally wheels that big were used for mechanical advantage in block
and tackle steering systems.

Do you also employ reins and a feed bag on your automobile?

Nutsy,

You know if they weren't so damn CHEAP when they lengthened the hull,
they could have lengthened the Hull by moving the Transom back to allow
more room behind the helm. That would have let them use a wheel that
allow room around it, also allowing another two seats on each side of
the wheel.

You could still stand on the seat for visibility but for the life of me,
I can't see a need for that much visibility. Your sailing, not driving
in Times Square.

Benny just took The Cheapest way to lengthen the hull. CHEAP, Cheap,
cheap :^) and YOU BROUGHT INTO IT. Now you're trying to justify their
Cheap Trick by standing on the seat an crowing;"Look at me, How good I
can See!" If you need that much visibility you should maybe mount the
Helm on the Cabin top (G)

Nutsy, you've Busted Yourself again with your own posts.

Happy Sailing from the Cramped, make do;--- Cheap cockpit. While your
up there don't forget to wave to the people on Shore. You're not fooling
anyone on the water

LOL, Thom! That's quite a post! Like I said, I'll post pics with more
people aboard. I really thought everyone on the water was totally
fooled!
As we passed them!

Yes, everyone is talking about this problem with her smile.

Yes, another problem as the wheel is within reach at all helm
positions. This can't be a good thing. We may switch to a folding wheel
and just keep it folded.

She secretly wishes for a bigger 'cockpit'.

A stepladder to get around the wheel? What the hell are you
yapping about, Krusty?
