Well, at least he doesn't have to climb a stepladder



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


To get to your boat!!!

Did you mean "presently" or "at present".
Just wondering.
Mark E. Williams


"Presently" means "at present" when used in the present tense. This
is the older and still more common use of the word. When used in the
future tense, it means "in a little while." For example: "Bob is
presently a buffoon, presently he will be a bigger buffoon."

Sure thing, Bob, plenty of room for a group to stretch out and relax:

Here's a proper cockpit for daysailer/cruiser:

Or, if you really want space:

Note the generous space secure at the lower level, plus comfy seats
for 5 raised up with full visibility.

Luckily deckspace is also great.

No Bob, this is great deck space:

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.


That ridiculously large wheel keeps you trapped behind it.

Great feature for single handing.

Why not get a smaller wheel and use a leg shackle to keep you on station?

That cockpit is designed around that pompous wheel.

If you look closely that cockpit only seats 4 not counting the helmsman.

It's a 35 footer isn't it?

I've seen daysailers 1/2 that size with more spacious cockpits.

Is this the picture you plan to post when you show 6 or 8 fitted into that
"cockpit":

Don't forget the cockpit space on this 24 footer:

No thanks. As I said, we're not ready to retire yet and prefer fun
sailing!
