Re: Pros and Cons of a Double Helm Position

I'm always amazed when I see the cockpit width of new boats from the big production builders. A new Beneteau 45 is 14'9" and carries most of that to the stern. Not sure that a single wheel would make sense.

The Van de Stadt says it's about the same beam (4.5 meters) but not sure how much carries back to the cockpit.

Re: Pros and Cons of a Double Helm Position

But a Beneteau 45 is not a cruising boat - it is a Med marina-hopping party boat.
