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 singlewheel 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.
