Wherever the tiller ends up, I promise there's no chance of this happening! The tiller/rudderpost configuration is one of the things that I need to deal with fairly early in the process, and is one of those things that I have to visualize in the flesh in order to confirm the correct positioning. Other decisions will be driven by the ultimate placement. Of course, any cockpit coamings in the area would need to be lowered to allow clearance for a deck-sweeping tiller. I believe that the seat-level platform may have more potential in the long run.David wrote:I have visions of the tiller, now higher and straighter, sweeping the cockpit, banging coamings and winches
Who said I did? It's simply too early to determine one way or another yet. At this point, just about any and all ideas are still under consideration. I very much want to get the tiller head off the sole--I'm not a huge fan of that location, frankly. Whether it ends up at deck level, or about alfway there (at seat level) is pretty much the question now--a question that will be answered once the deck and cockpit are built.Figment wrote:Don't give up on the notion of the deck-height rudder head so quickly!
